摘要

The present study was conducted to investigate the current status of heifers at rural, rural commercial and peri-urban commercial dairy farms. The average number of buffalo and cow heifers per dairy farm was significantly more in peri-urban and rural commercial than in rural farms. The average age at puberty in buffaloes (3.0 +/- 0.2 years) and cows (1.9 +/- 0.3 years) was significantly less in rural commercial farms as compared to their rural (4.1 +/- 0.3 and 2.8 +/- 0.2 years) and peri-urban counterparts (3.6 +/- 0.2 and 2.4 +/- 0.2 years, respectively). The net costs of pre-weaned, weaned to prepubertal, pubertal and first calvers was significantly higher in rural commercial than rural and peri-urban farms. However, average cost (Rupees) to rear a heifer until first calving was significantly more in peri-urban than in rural and rural commercial farms. Most farmers (84.8% rural commercial, 81.3% peri-urban commercial and 61.3% rural) were interested in keeping the animals solely for milk production. About 89.1% rural commercial, 61.3% rural and 35.9% peri-urban farmers sold their livestock to other farmers because of low milk yield, high rearing cost, productive and reproductive problems. In comparison, disposal of animals for slaughter by rural commercial, rural and peri-urban commercial farmers was 10.9%, 38.7% and 64.1%, respectively. Few people still preferred in keeping old and infertile animals (11.3% rural, 8.7% rural commercial and 17.2% peri-urban commercial) due to sentimental approach. It can thus be summarized that heifer raising is practiced in all the three types of farms, although, cost of rearing is higher in the peri-urban ones.
