Abstract
"Various studies on economics
of milk production conclusively
established that despite higher cost of
maintenance and relatively lower price of
milk, the crossbred cattle are more
profitable than both the buffaloes and
local cattle due to higher milk
productivity and better reproductive
efficiency. the crossbreds have better
profitability than indigenous cattle and
buffaloes owing to higher lifetime milk
production coupled with better longevity."
