Comparative Analysis of Cow and Buffalo Milk Production Trends in India

Author(s) Mr. Ajit Basaragi, Prof. R N Kadam
Country India
Abstract India continues to lead as the largest milk producer in the world, supported by a diverse dairy sector comprising various livestock species, with cows and buffaloes being the primary contributors. This study presents a species-wise analysis of milk production in the country, examining trends, productivity levels, and policy implications. Utilizing secondary data from the Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics 2024 and other official sources, the study classifies milk production by species and explores regional disparities, yield variations, and sectoral growth patterns. The findings indicate that indigenous buffaloes and crossbred cows together contribute more than 62% of the total milk output. Buffaloes are predominant in the northern and central regions, largely due to cultural preferences and their higher milk fat content, whereas crossbred cows are increasingly preferred in the southern and western states for their higher milk yields. Although indigenous and non-descriptive breeds also play a role in milk production, their productivity remains comparatively low. The study highlights the importance of implementing species-specific breeding initiatives, regionally tailored policies, and better livestock management practices. Such measures are vital for enhancing milk production, increasing farmer income, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of India’s dairy sector.
Keywords Milk Production, Dairy Sector, Crossbred Cows, Indigenous Buffaloes, Species-wise, Livestock Productivity, Breed Improvement.
