摘要

"The skew in income earning from dairy enterprise is more prominent in the cooperative members. This could possibly be attributed to higher size of dairy herd, better animal management practices, stability and fairness in dairy income receipt from thedairy cooperative societies and some other reasons." The contribution of the livestock sector to the GDP was around 6 per cent in 2000-01. This is largely due to a sustained annual growth rate of 4.70 per cent in milk output in the last 25 years and aneven higher growth in meat (4.34 per cent) and poultry (5.87 per cent). The value of the output of livestock sector was about Rs. 1,67,205 crores in 2000-01, which is about 30 per cent of the total output of Rs. 5,61,717 crores of the entire agricultural sector.
