DEVELOPMENT OF DAIRY IN ANDHRA PRADESH

Introduction

Bovines play a very important role in the development of rural economy of India.

This is particularly true of Andhra Pradesh where 73% of total population lives in rural

areas. There are 20 million cattle and buffaloes which pull carts and plough, produce milk

and are an asset to their owners by providing employment and income. The organized

milk procurement through the integrated milk project was initiated in Andhra Pradesh

from 1970 onwards. The interest of the Animal Husbandry Department in comprehensive

information on bovine keeping and dairying in Andhra Pradesh to support planning and

policy making was discussed with Indo-Swiss Project Andhra Pradesh and with Andhra

Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative Federation. Subsequently the study on bovine

and dairy development in Andhra Pradesh was initiated in December 1991 with the

overall goal to contribute to the formulation of policies and to programme

implementation in the bovine and dairy sector of Andhra Pradesh.

Andhra Pradesh is the fifth largest state in India with a geographical area of 27.5

million hectares (8.4%). The area under cultivation is 10.4 million hectares which

accounts for 38% of the geographical area of A.P. While the same in the country is 43

percent. The state has 9.4% of the adult female cattle and buffalo population of India. In

terms of milk production the state contributes only 5.8%. Milch animal’s productivity is

thus quite low in A.P.

The Andhra Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative Federation (APDDCF) has

been the major force in increasing milk production, organizing milk marketing and

encouraging milk producers. Till 1960 dairy development was a minor subject in Andhra

44

Pradesh and was attached to the Animal Husbandry Department (AHD). The main

activity was to promote milk producers cooperative societies. It gained importance when

government decided to intervene in urban milk supply. The subsequent developments

were as follows.

In 1960 -61 a pilot milk supply scheme and in 1994 the Integrated Milk Project

was implemented by AHD. This project aimed at organizing milk procurement around

the cities of Hyderabad and Vijayawada and selling in these cities. In 1970 the Dairy

Development Department was installed and its creation was necessitated by the already

expanded activities under the Integrated Milk Project. The organization expended its

activities to other cities like Visakhapatnam and Rajahmundry. In 1974 Andhra Pradesh

Dairy Development Corporation was installed. The Govt. of India advised state

Government to create an enterprise in the public sector and accordingly the Andhra

Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative Federation was created. In 1981 Andhra

Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative Federation was created through conversion of

Andhra Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative.

First two five year plans: The animal health coverage strengthened by starting

more dispensaries, Crossbreeding Scheme. All India crossbreeding scheme was started at

Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. In 1963 an institution was started at Nidubroulu to meet

the specialized training in Artificial Insemination and animal gynecology.

The Chief Minister N. Kirankumar reddy who is very much particular to develop

the dairy sector in the state directed the officials to launch the Rs. 6,000 crore schemes.

He said Andhra Pradesh has vast opportunities to develop the dairy sector and what we

need is coordinated efforts from all departments concerned like Banks, Rural

45

Development Agencies, NREGS, Govt. of India, SERP and National Rural Livelihood

Mission etc.

Andhra Pradesh is the second largest milk producer state in the country. In 2008-

09, Andhra Pradesh produced 254.56 lakh liters per day compared to the national total of

2,885.09 lakh liters per day. Andhra Pradesh milk production during 2008-11 recorded an

annual average growth rate of 8.2%. While the milk production in 2010-11 was 298.0

lakh liters per day (LLPD). Average milk yield per day was 3.8 liters and the per capita

milk production was only 269.25 gms. The target is to increase the milk production to

496.31 LLPD and per capita milk production to 426 gms.

Andhra Pradesh stands first in buffalo population with 6959 lakh MTs of annual

milk production. Presently about 24 lakh families in Andhra Pradesh are directly

depending on livestock rearing for their livelihood. The contribution of this sector to

GSDP is 7.29 percent.

Twenty six mobile veterinary clinics have been sanctioned during 2004-05 to

provide animal health care in remote areas of the state. A mass vaccination programme

involving Rs.2.28 crore has been taken up in 5 districts of the state (Hyderabad,

Rangareddy, Medak, Anantapur and Chittor). Government vaccine production units are

modernized with an outlay of Rs.8.15 crore during the year 2004-05. In 2005-06 the

animal husbandry department planned to introduce 15 mobile veterinary clinics. The

budget estimate for animal husbandry for 2005-06 was Rs. 202.80 crore.

The Andhra Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative Federation Limited is

doing milk procurement operations in 11districts. The milk procurement increased from

1.29 lakh liters per day in 2004-05 to 3.25 lakh liters per day in 2009-10 with an absolute

46

difference of 1.96 lakh liters per day registering a positive growth of 152%. The farmer’s

income which was Rs.46 crore in 2004-05 increased to Rs. 197 crore in 2009-10. The

federation established 210 Bulk Milk Cooling Units up to 2009-10. The buffalo milk

purchase price increased from Rs 170/- per Kg with fat in 2004 to Rs. 340/- per Kg with

fat in 2010. While the cow milk purchase price increased from Rs.70/- Kg with total

solids in 2004 to Rs.125/- Kg with total solids in 2010. The milk sale by APDDCF Ltd

increased from 2.95 lakh liters per day in 2004-05 to 3.5 lakh liters per day in 2009-10.

The livestock development has attained the status of an Agro-based industry

generating economic growth, gainful employment and livelihood to many weaker

sections in the state. Small and marginal farmers and landless poor contributing to 62%

of total milk production own 70% of livestock in Andhra Pradesh. Women provide nearly

60% of livestock farming labour. The per capita availability of milk increased from 168

gms per day in 1997-98 to 286 gms per day in 2005-06.

During the period from 2003 to 2007 the cattle population was increased by

19.09%. There was an increase of 61.69% in crossbred cattle and 26.63% in nondescript

cattle. Adult female crossbred cattle was increased by 63.75% between 2003 and 2007,

buffalo population by 23.25%. There was an increase of 83.06% in graded buffalo’s

population and 39.13% in nondescript buffaloes. The number of adult female graded

buffaloes was increased by 35.48%.

In 2008-09 the milk production in the state was 95, 69,485 MTs consisting 8.82%

of the total milk production in the country and attained second position in milk

production in the country. The livestock sector contributes Rs.23, 993 crore (6.46%) to

the total GSDP of the state and Rs.3, 71,229 crore at current prices of 2008-09. The

47

contribution of milk to livestock sector was Rs.12, 207 crore (51%). Out of this an

amount of Rs.3, 203 crore came from cow milk and Rs.9002 crore from buffalo milk.

Trends in Milch Animal Population

The trends in milch animal population in Andhra Pradesh are shown in

Table 2.2. Here milch animals include cows and she buffaloes. In 1956 there were 38

lakh (56 %) cows and 29 lakh (44 %) she buffaloes, by 2007 the population of milch

cows was 36 lakh (34 %) and that of she buffaloes was 70 lakh (66 %).

Note: Figures in brackets are percentages to milch animals

It reveals that the percentage share of cows declined and that of she buffaloes

significantly increased. It is also evident that the growth in milch animals from one

census year to another census year is fluctuating. In 1977 (-2.38), 1987 (-18.18), 1993 (-

16.66) and 1999 (-3.33), the growth in milch cows was negative, but in the case of she

49

buffaloes the growth was positive in all census years and the same ranged from 4.65 % in

1987 to 18.64 % in 2007. The population of she buffaloes is increasing due to high price

for buffalo milk and the farmers need not take special care to maintain she buffaloes.

Cow Population

Category-wise and census-wise cow population in Andhra Pradesh is shown in

Table 2.3. The number of Cross breed cows in 1993 under one year was 89633 (23.71%),

65399 (17.30%) under 1-2.5 years, 153653 (40.66%) in milk, 51824 (13.71%) dry, 15225

(4.02%) not yet calved and 2160 (0.57%) others. In 1993 the total is 377894 (7.98%).

By 2007, under one year is 349866 (23.48%), 1-2.5 years was 219846 (14.75%), 642362

in milk (43.11 %), 185744 in dry (12.46%), 72781 not yet calved (4.88%), others was

19390 (1.30%) and the total Crossbreed cows was 1489989 (26.37%)

The number of Nondescript cows in 1993 under one year was 759429 (17.43%),

1-3years was 5792886 (18.20%), in milk 1268677 (29.12%), in dry was 902373

(20.71%), not yet calved 240213 (5.51%) and others 392004 (9.00%). In 1993 the total

female ND cattle was 4355582 (92.01%) and the total female cows was 4733476. By

2007 under one year there were 847745 (20.38%), under 1-3 years 681483 (16.38%), in

milk 1530651 (36.79%), in dry 702165 (16.88%), not yet calved 274080 (6.58%) and

others 123405 (2.96%). The total ND cattle in 2007 was 4159529 (73.62), and total

female cows were 5649518.

It is evident that the percent of CB cows in milk rose to 40.66% in 2003 to

43.11% in 2007 and also total CB cows from 7.98% in 2003 to 26.37% in 2007 and the

percentage of ND cows in milk raised to 29.12% in 2003 to 36.79 % in 2007. While the

50

total female ND cattle decreased from 92.01 % in 2003 to 73.62% in 2007. It also

indicates that the population of CB cows was less than (27%) that of ND Cows (73%).

(1.55%), and the total buffalo population was 11164068 in 2007. It reveals that from

1993 to 2007 the share of buffaloes in milk population was more than 40 % to total

53

buffalo population and growth also positive in different categories but in two categories

there was negative growth i.e., -0.59% in dry buffalo population, and under one year

buffalo population -0.37% during 1999-03.

Classification of Districts according to Percentage share of Crossbreed

Classification of districts according to the percentage share of Crossbreed in

total cattle population in 2007 is shown in Table 2.5. It is observed that the percentage

share of crossbreed in Mahabubnagar, Khamamm, Medak, Nizamabad, Guntur, Kurnnol,

Prakasam, Nalgona and Warangal districts to total cattle population was less than 10

percent. The percentage share of CB in total cattle population falls between 10 and 25

percent in Krishna, Nellore, Kurnnool, Kadapa, Anantapur, Rangareddy and Karimnagar

districts. While the share of C.B. was between 25 & 40 percent in Visakhapatnam, East

Godavari and West Godavari districts. The percentage of C.B. ranged from 40 & 50% in

Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts. The percentage of CB is grater than 50% in

Chittor and Hyderabad districts. The highest share of CB was in Chittor district and the

lowest share was in Kurnnool district.

Quinquinneal Livestock Census -1999.

Milk Production in A.P.

Year wise milk production in Andhra Pradesh is shown in Table 2.11. In 1979-80

there was 610000 MTs (33%) of cow milk production, 119000 MTs (67%) of buffalo

milk production and 1809000 MTs of total milk production. By 2009-10 cow milk

62

production was 2828000 MTs (27%), 7602000 MTs of buffalo milk production (73%)

and total milk production was 10431000 MTs. It indicates that the share of cow milk

production in total milk declined and that of buffaloes significantly increased.

It is also evident that the growth in milk production from one year to another year

fluctuates. For instance in 1892-93 the growth in cow milk production was negative, i.e. -

1.70, in 1987-88 -21.13, in 1995-96 -17.98 and in 2003-04 -13.36%. The growth in

buffalo milk production was negative, i.e. 1980-81 was -5.17, -0.5 in 1986-87, -1.79 in

1990-91, -0.36 in 1991-92 and in the year 1997-98 was -4.36%, and growth in total milk

was also negative in 1990-91 was - 0.66 and -2.25% in 1991-92. The buffalo milk

production increased due to increase in buffalo population compared to cow population.

Cow milk production increased from 610000 MTs in 1979-80 to 2828000 MTs in 2009-

10. But there is no continuous growth in cow milk production. The growth ranged from

0.46 % in 1994-95 to 23.47 % in 2002-03.While buffalo milk production rose from

1199000 MTs in 1979-80 to 7602000 MTs in 2009-10. In this case also the growth is not

steady.

The total milk production in Andhra Pradesh was 5521000 MTs in 2000-01. In 2009-10

the milk production is large i.e. 835000 MTs in Prakasam district and low at 7000 MTs in

Hyderabad district. While Anantapur district stood at 12th

place with 384000 MTs.

The growth rate between 2005-06 and 2009-10 ranged from 6.06% in Hyderabad

district to 59.35% in Prakasam district. Total milk production in Andhra Pradesh was

10430000 MTs. Huge quantity of milk production was noticed in Guntur district and low

was observed in Hyderabad district in 2000-01. In 2009-10 the milk production was high

in Prakasam district and low in Hyderabad district.

Season -Wise Milk Production

Table 2.13 shows season –wise milk production and average milk yield per day

per animal in Andhra Pradesh. The average milk yield per non – descript cow in three

seasons was 2 kg, per Crossbreed cow 7 kg, per Graded Murrah buffaloes it was 6 kg.

The above analysis reveals that the average milk yield is high in the case of

Crossbreed and Gradedmurrah compared to Nondescript cow and buffalo. In winter

season the highest average milk yield was observed in the case of Cross breed cow and in

summer season the lowest average yield was noticed in the case of Graded Murrah

buffaloes. In the case of nondescript cows and buffaloes the average milk yield was same

in three seasons.
