ABSTRACT
The present study investigated costs and returns of milk production from both crossbred cow and buffalo in Andhra Pradesh. The study covered 160 milk producers selected randomly from eight village dairy cooperative societies which were post-stratified into small (1-3 SAUs), medium (4-6 SAUs) and large (> 6 SAUs) herd size category. The study revealed that the per litre cost of milk production in case of members was lower than that of non-members whereas net return per litre was more for members than non-members for both crossbred cow and buffalo.
Key words :
Buffalo, Costs & returns, Crossbred cow, Dairy Cooperative Societies, Herd size, Milk production.
