Key Points: Animal Husbandry (Livestock) > Dairy (Livestock) Farm Management

Meaning — Dairying is the management of animals for milk and milk products for human consumption. It deals with increasing yield and improving quality of milk.
Key Factor — Milk yield primarily depends on the quality of breeds — high-yielding potential combined with disease resistance.
Breeds — Indian cow breeds: Sahiwal, Sindhi, Gir | Exotic breeds: Jersey, Brown Swiss, Holstein | Buffalo breeds: Jaffarabadi, Murrah, Nagpuri, Nili, Mehsana, Surati.
Importance of Cattle — Provide milk, hides, horns, hooves, blood, fat. Bullocks used for ploughing, harrowing, threshing & transporting produce.
By-products — Cattle dung used as fuel, biogas generation & manure. Livestock plays a significant role in Indian agriculture.
