Abstract:

Dairy farming is the only viable income source for the marginal poor farmers in Tamil Nadu. The present study was undertaken to find out the cost and returns of dairy farming in the Kallakurichi district of Tamil Nadu. The cost involved in milk production has been computed for six different combinations by calculating depreciation on the cost of the animal and including the returns from the sale of manure (Rs. 21.94 per litre), by considering depreciation of the animal cost and by including the returns from the sale of manure and sale of calf (Rs. 21.60 per litre), by considering depreciation on cost of animal and excluding the returns from sale of manure and sale of calf(Rs. 27.18 per litre), by excluding the depreciation on cost of animal and considering returns from sale of manure (Rs. 20.55 per litre), by excluding the depreciation on cost of animal and including the returns from sale of manure and sale of calf (Rs. 20.22 per litre), by excluding depreciation on cost of animal and by excluding returns from sale of manure and sale of calf (Rs. 25.79 per litre).
