Abstract
"Management is an art and a science
and it is effective managerial capacity
that can convert resources into returns.
For increasing and promoting the breeding
efficiency of a dairy animal, certain
strategies are essential. The first is
selection of genetically superior disease
-free female animals having yearly
calving, a faster growth rate after birth,
lower age at first calving and better feed
conversion efficiency etc. Timely
observance of heat, mating of the females
and pregnancy diagnosis are also important
factors to achieve high fertility.
Further, extensive use of AI technology,
which is the most successful method for
breed improvement and development, needs
to be adopted. Shifting to AI from natural
service would help in making rapid strides
in breed and productivity improvement.
Feeding a balanced and economical ration
together with mineral supplements,
providing comfortable shelter,
implementing suitable remedial measures
against managerial problems, following
vaccination schedule and record keeping of
the above-mentioned activities will
certainly maximise the productivity of
dairy animals and returns from the
dairying business."
