Title : Cost and Break Even Analysis of Milk Production in Lalitpur District Material Type: printed text Authors: R. P. Bhari, Author ; R.P. Yadav, Author Pagination: 227-244 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: The present study was conducted on 79 milk producing farmers of ht'O village development
committees (VDCs) (Chapagaun and Lele) of Lalitpur district using survey method during the
fiscal year 1997198. The results revealed that the total maintenance cost per milch animal per
day in cross-bred/improved cow and buffalo was higher (Rs. 77.79 and Rs. 87.60) than local
(Rs. 37.52 and Rs. 52.84) respectively and this increased with increase infann size. Feed was
the most important cost item accounting for about 40 per cent of the total maintenance cost
followed by labour (about 39 per cent) in both cows and buffaloes and in almost all sizegroup
of farms. The gross income per milch animal per day in cow and buffalo for crossbred/
improved breed~ was observed higher (Rs. 72.50 and Rs. 82.81 respectively) than in
local (Rs. 33.29 and Rs. 43.94) and was directly proportional to the farm size. The cost of
milk production per litre was computed as Rs. 18. 7 4 and Rs. 19. 69 in cow and Rs. 18.46 and
Rs. 21.01 in buffalo, in cross-bred/improved and local breed respectively. The net loss over;
cost C (total cost) was found Rs. 5.29 and Rs. 4.23 in cow and Rs. 4. 79 and Rs. 8.90 in
b71ffalo per day per milch animal in cross-bred/improved and local breed respectively.
However, the net profit per milch animal per day over cost B (excluding family labour from
the total cost) in cow and buffalo was found positive and higher in cross-bred/improved (Rs.
26.25 and Rs. 29.60 respectively) than in local (Rs. 9.85 and Rs. 8. 75). The breakeven
analy~is indicated that the breakeven milk production per milch animal per day in crossbred/
unproved cow and buffalo was lower (6.32 and 6.06 litre) than that of local (6.92 and
7.91/itre).Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=414 Cost and Break Even Analysis of Milk Production in Lalitpur District [printed text] / R. P. Bhari, Author ; R.P. Yadav, Author . - [s.d.] . - 227-244 p.
