GauDaan

A Small Sized Dairy Farm Project.

Introduction :

Dairy farming,a safe business in Gujarat.As it is common knowledge,the Dairy products

business (Milk,Ghee etc) is an all year constant and continous in demand product

business,depending on quality control and production.

It is eco-friendly and does not cause environmental pollution as compared to other

industries.

Requirement of skilled labour is relatively less.Dairy product market is active round the year.

Minimum investment on inventory. (No need to to stock raw materials in huge

quantities.)

Entire establishment can be shifted to a new location (if need arises e.g. Fire, Floods etc.)One can insure animals.

Less energy requirement. Biogas plant fed with cow dung can supply maximum energy tomeet farms day to day requirement. Decomposed slurry of such plant can also be

effectively used as organic manure. The GUADAAN Dairy Farm project is proposed

with similar knowledge and target so as to start a small/medium sized Dairy Farm with a

vision to produce and market quality and premium level dairy products all year.

Location : The Guadaan Dairy Farm project is proposed at Vastral,Ahmedabad.

The site is just on the outskirts of the city with plenty of clean air,easy road access andopen space to establish and expand as required in time. The available land is 3000yards

app. Which is more than sufficient with emphasis on the Dairy Farm infrastructure andother support systems like Shades,Office space,Water tank, Farming etc.The initialprojection is for 20 Animals (10 cows 10 buffaloes).

Infrastructure and Manpower requirements

The space required per animal is planned 50 sq.ft in shed and 100sq.ft open space.

(The figures are on an approximate basis as affordable)

Room area :

One room for keeping implements.

One room for milk storageOffice room of suitable size.

Water tank capable of storing minimum 3000 liters

Bore well with capacity to fill water tank in 1 hr with Pump etcTotal land requirement for a unit of 20 animals can be sited as 1000 yards. There should

be space for expansion space requirement for 100 animals in future. For 20 animals

initially, we plan arrangements for getting an assured supply of 300 kgs. of Lucerne and

500 kgs. of maize fodder per day. However, in long run, as the strength of the farm will

go up to 100 animals, It is advisable thatwe should go for with irrigation facility to

cultivate green fodder for the animals. (One acre of green fodder cultivation for every

five animals is required as a thumb rule.). By making fodder's like Lucerne or Berseemavailable for the animals inhouse we can reduce cost on feeding concentrate feed.

In house Staff : The basic labourers for 20 animals would 4 persons on a monthly salary.A Production manager andone Marketing co ordinator.
