CHAPTER III PROGRESS OF DAIRY FARMING AND DAIRY IN ANANTAPUR DISTRICT

CHAPTER III PROGRESS OF DAIRY FARMING AND DAIRY IN ANANTAPUR DISTRICT 101

PROGRESS OF DAIRY FARMING AND DAIRY IN ANANTAPUR DISTRICT Anantapur district lies between 13 40 and 15-15 Northern latitude and 76-50 and 78-30 Eastern latitude. It is bounded by Bellary, Kurnnool district on the north, Cuddapah and Kolar districts of Karnataka on South East and north respectively. The district is roughly oblong in shape, the longer side running north to south with a portion of Chitradurg district of Karnataka state intruding into it from west between Kundurpi and Amarapuram mandals. The district has been divided into 3 revenue divisions namely Anantapur, Dharmavaram and Penukonda. There are 63 mandals (Anantapur division 20, Dharmavaram division 17 and Penukonda division 26). The geographical area of the district is 19,130 sq.kms which forms 19.13 percent of the state s geographical area. According to the 2011 census, the district has a population of 40.83 lakh consisting of 20.65 lakh males (51.07%) and 20.18 lakh females (48.92%). The sex ratio worked out to 977 females per 1000 males as compared to 992 males per 1000 males in the state and 940 females per 1000 males in the country. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood to a majority of the population in the district. Of the total workers, 16.41 percent are cultivators and 15.53 percent are agricultural laborers according to the 2001 census. It is interesting to note that marginal workers account for 10.29 percent of the total labour force. Most of the marginal workers are found engaged in the agriculture sector. As regards the land use pattern, the net sown area accounts for 43.10 percent of the total geographical area. The area under forests accounts for about 10.30 percent of the total geographical area. It may be observed that the forest cover in the district is lower than that of the state. Of the net shown area, the net irrigated area accounts for about 19.23 percent. 102

The district is heavily dependent on wells, canals and tanks for irrigation purpose. While the area irrigated by wells formed 84.84 percent of the gross irrigated area, the contribution of canals stood at 11.09 percent and the contribution of tanks stood at 2.73 percent in 2009-10. Regarding the principal crops grown in the district, paddy accounted for about 32.55 percent, groundnut accounted for about 18.71 percent and fresh and dry fruits accounted for 19.48 percent of the total cropped area. The total area under food grains and groundnut accounted for 88.25 percent of the total cropped area which produces fodder as byproduct. Thus, it may be observed that the existence of a substantial area under crops that produce fodder as a byproduct, besides a good forest cover provide favorable conditions for the development of dairying in the district. The climate in the district can be described as moderate with the temperature from 14 to 40 C. The average annual rainfall of the district is 552 mm. The rainfall is quite erratic resulting in frequent droughts. As such many small and marginal farmers and agricultural labourers do not have full employment in crop farming throughout the year. In these circumstances, dairying serves as a useful subsidiary occupation to many agricultural households by way of providing either full- time or part-time employment. Milch animal population According to the 2007 livestock census, the district has a total bovine population of 15, 42,573 out of which cattle account for as much as 53.37 percent and the rest being buffaloes. The total milch animals stood at 2, 87,740 accounting for 18.65 percent of the total bovine stock. Of the milch animals the cows accounted for 47.52 percent and shebuffaloes 52.47 percent further, among the cattle, 20.29 percent are of crossbred variety. 103

The details of bovine population in Anantapur district are presented in table 2.1. It may be observed that dairying activity in Anantapur district is centered on buffaloes. Infrastructural facilities for dairy development The Animal Husbandry Department in the district has 175 veterinary institutions and 158 Gopalamithra Centers and 3 Mobile Veterinary clinics. The Regional Animal Husbandry Training center provides the required trainings to the needy farmers or staff in the district under capacity building programme in livestock sector. In the district there are one centralized semen collection center, 16 veterinary hospitals, three livestock farms which are providing the required perennial fodder slips to the farmers under fodder development. Schemes for Dairy Development Various schemes like Artificial Insemination programmes, cross-breed heifer calf rearing scheme and fodder development programme have been in operation in the district for the development of dairying. Recognizing the importance of the AI programme in improving the quality of milch animals, the department of animal husbandry has taken up the AI programme in the district on a large scale. The total number of AIs performed by the veterinary institutions of AH department of the district during the year 2000-01 was 70800 and the number has been increasing steadily from year to year, and the total number of AIs done during the year 2007-08 has touched the level of 1.70 lakh. It is implementing de-worming programme free of cost, life saving drugs are being supplied on 50% subsidy and arranges training programmes in First Aid and A.I activities on subsidy. Insurance coverage of animals bearing 1/3 rd of cost of premium. BAIF model doorstep A.I. activities are being taken up through Anantapur district cattle breeders 104

association since June 1999 with the technical assistance of BAIF authorities at Hindupur area and encourages milk producers through awards and incentives to the best performing co-operatives and milk producers. Milch animals are insured by tie-up with AH Department & United India Insurance Co-Ltd. Fodder Development Programmes Milk is produced economically only when good quality forages are given to milch animals. But, the usual fodder resources available in the district comprises paddy straw, Joan straw, sugarcane tops, groundnut halves which are residual fodders with less nutritional value. To improve the position of green fodder availability, individual farmers are encouraged to cultivate fodder crops like N.B.21, H.B.18, Co-1 in their land holdings. Besides, cultivation of certain varieties of short duration fodder crops is being encouraged in the farms of individual farmers by supplying them fodder seeds under Drought Prone Area Programme. Development of Co-operative Dairying The direct involvement of the milk producers in milk marketing was started with the launching of a milk dairy at Anantapur in 1971 with an installed capacity of 25,000 liters per day. The clean milk production programme was sanctioned by GOI for Anantapur district with a project outlay of Rs. 153.00 lakh and the scheme period was 2 years from 2005-06. Regarding the physical progress, 5 Bulk Milk Cooling Units of 1000 Lakh Liters per Day, 3 Bulk Milk Cooling Units of 3000 Lakh Liters per Day have been established in project area against the target of 13 of 1000 Lakh Liters per Day. The scheme has been completed during March 2009. As a result the milk procurement increased from 1019 thousand liters in 2002-03 to 2730 thousand liters in 2007-08. 105

Progress of Dairy Co-operatives There were as many as 463 societies with 55000 members. The annual milk procurement increased from 122 lakh liters in 2002-03 to 269 lakh liters in 2010-11 sowing an increase of 120.49 percent. The average daily milk procurement increased from 0.51 lakh liters in 2006-07 to 0.74 lakh lpd in 2010-11. In terms of milk supply there was a decline from 1.15 liters in 2002-03 to 76 thousand liters per day in 2007-08. Thus in spite of the structural growth of the dairy cooperatives, the growth is low in real terms. The district union made collaborate arrangements for transporting milk from 41 MPCS, 444 MPACs and 463 MCCs where milk is collected twice a day. There are as many as 78 milk routes covering 1043 villages in the district and the district union hires trucks\ tractors for transporting milk from villages to the district dairy\chilling centers. Provision of Technical Inputs The dairy has been spending huge amounts for the provision of various technical inputs to the members with a view to improving the breeding, feeding and management aspects of dairying. The dairy\a.h. Department has been providing the following technical inputs to the milk producer members. 1) First-aid facility to the milch animals of producer members to maintain animal health, 2) Artificial Insemination facility for better breeding to improve the quality of milch animals, 3) Vaccination programme to the animals against various diseases, 4) Supply of balanced cattle feed at subsidized rates to improve the milk yield, 5) Supply of fodder seeds at subsidized rates and also free of cost to improve green fodder availability, 6) Milch animal insurance and 106

7) Training programme to the milk producer members, members of Management committees, paid secretaries and presidents of primary dairy cooperative societies under cooperative development programme with the assistance of NDDB.

Classifications of Divisions according to Percentage share of CB Table 3.5 shows the classification of divisions according to percentage share of crossbred in total cattle population between 2007 & 11. It reveals that in Uravakonda division the share of C.B. was less than zero percent. In Hindupur division the share of C.B. was above 5 percent. Table 3.5 Classifications of Divisions according to Percentage share of CB Share of Crossbred (In Percentage) Below Zero Uravakonda Divisions 1 to 2 Anantapur, Penukonda 3 to 4 Dharmavaram Above 5 Hindupur Source: Records & Animal Husbandr,Department, Anantapur. In Anantapur and Penukonda divisions the share of CB falls in the class of 1 to 2 percent. While in Dharmavaram division the share of C.B. ranged from 3 to 4 percent. Thus the above analysis reveals that the share of C.B. in total cattle population was relatively high in Dharmavaram and Hindupur divisions. Estimated Milk Production Table 3.6 shows the estimated milk production in Anantapur district. In 1998-99 there was 48 thousand MTs (85.71%) of Indigenous cow milk production, 8 thousand MTs (14.28%) of crossbred cow milk production, and 56 thousand MTs (39.43%) of total cow milk production. About 76 thousand MTs (88.37%) of indigenous buffalo milk 113

production, 10 thousand MTs (11.62%) of gradedmurrah buffalo milk production, and 86 thousand MTs (60.56%) of total buffalo milk production. In 1998-99 While in 1998-99 the total milk production in Anantapur district as a whole was 142 thousand MTs. By 2009-10, 74 thousand MTs (54.81%) was indigenous cow milk production, 61 thousand MTs (45.18%) was crossbred cow milk production and 135 thousand MTs (35.15%) was total cow milk production. About 149 thousand MTs (59.83%) was gradedmurrah buffalo milk production, 100 thousand MTs (40.16%) was indigenous buffalo milk production and 249 thousand MTs (64.84%) was total buffalo milk production. The total milk production was 384 thousand MTs by 2009-10. It was also evident that the growth in milk production from one year to another fluctuated. The growth in total milk production was negative i.e. -10.34% in 2001-02, -5.12% in 2003-04 and -7.4% in 2005-06. The share of indigenous cow milk production declined from 85.71% in 1998-99 to 54.81% in 2009-10.

Note: Figures in Brackets Indicate Percentages to total. While the crossbred cow milk production increased from 14.28% in1998-99 to 45.18 % in 2009-10. The total cow milk production declined from 39.43% in 1998-99 to 35.15% in 2009-10. Indigenous buffalo milk production also declined from 88.37% to 115

40.16%, the gradedmurrah buffalo milk production increased form 11.62% to 35.15% during the same period similarly the share of buffalo milk production increased from 60.56% to 64.84% in same period. It reveals that from 1998-99 to 2009-10 the crossbred cow milk production increased by 30 times, but the growth in cow milk production decreased. The Graded Murrah buffalo milk rose by 48 times. As a result the share of buffalo milk production in total milk increased significantly. Animals in Milk and Milk Production Table 3.7 shows division-wise animals in milk and milk production in Anantapur district. During 2003-07 a large number of cows were in milk 136761 (55.62%) with 74842 MTs of milk (55.38%) in Uravakonda division and least number of cows were in milk 22429 (9.15%) with 11716 MTs in Penukonda division. Large number of buffaloes were in milk 150979 (57.03%) with 98011 MTs of milk production and least number of buffaloes were in milk i.e. 21002 with 13677 MTs of milk production in Hindupur division. During 2003-07 of all the divisions in Anantapur district large number of milch animals (Cows & Buffaloes) was found in Uravakonda division. While the least number of milch animals in milk i.e. 44227 with 25968 MTs of milk production were noticed in Hindupur division.
