Dairy Farm Management by CEDSI - Centre of Excellence for Dairy Skills in India

Dairy Farming - production of milk by cattle rearing has been a major industry in India that fuels the economic backdrop of the country. As a rapidly booming field of practice and study, it is attracting many potential farmers and students to contribute to global dairy production. Naturally, to support its growth, NABARD (National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development) has released various schemes to encourage and sustain its functionality. Collaborating efforts with the government, CEDSI - the center of excellence for dairy skills in India aims to provide innovative skills to dairy farmers, in order to ensure effective dairy farm management. Read on to find out about how CEDSI manages the dairy farm business, and the vital requirements to successfully do so.

Running and managing a dairy farm needs an immaculate depth of knowledge, presence of mind, and the ability to multi-task effectively. It involves milking and feeding the cattle, cleaning and sterilizing their environment, handling manure, creating a safe and stress-free environment for the cattle, and ensuring comfortable breeding conditions. CEDSI recognizes these requirements and aims to train farmers, companies, and various developmental institutions to hone their necessary skills and build their capacity to manage dairy farms. A dairy farm manager typically ensures the setting up of proper procedures in the dairy farm, that result in increased milk production and improved cattle fertility and health. To enable this, CEDSI focuses on disseminating knowledge and awareness to farmers by providing hands-on training in milk testing, cleaning, and sanitation, maintenance of hardware, cow’s performance, and many other related elements of dairy farm management. CEDSI also strives to spread awareness about the possible problems and areas of concern while managing dairy farms, so that farmers can easily identify them and work towards eradicating them. Good pasture management is another vital aspect of successful dairy management. Dairy entrepreneurs and progressive dairy farmers are also trained to maintain standard pastures and monitor the appropriate level of the stocking. 

Ultimately, by coaching potential dairy farmers and groups in institutions, CEDSI plays an impeccable role in dairy farm management.  By updated knowledge management, extensive research, and providing advisory services, CEDSI makes dairy farm management requirements known to farmers. Thus, it is no surprise that CEDSI is the leading organization responsible for sustaining the dairy farm business and ensuring fluent and quality milk production across the Indian Dairy Farming Industry.
