States to expand cold chains for milk
in rural areas
THE GOVERNMENT HAS urged States to reduce wastage
of milk by expanding the cold chain infrastructure in
rural areas to collect and preserve milk till it is
collected for sale or taken for processing. According
to Agriculture Minister Shri Radha Mohan Singh this
requires systematic planning for location of bulk milk
coolers so that farmers from neighbouring villages
can easily access them.
Shri Singh informed that the National Livestock
Mission (NLM) to be launched in fiscal 2015 shall
ensure quantitative and qualitative improvement in
livestock production systems and capacity building of
all stakeholders, and that the submission under NLM on fodder and feed development will try to address problems of
scarcity to boost the livestock sector.

Dairy Public Private Partnerships
FOR INCREASING MILK productivity to 200 million tonnes by 2021-22, the Government sees a bigger role for the private
sector in the dairy industry and has identified areas for public-private partnerships (PPPs).
The areas where the Government sees a potential for PPPs are setting up veterinary hospitals and colleges,
semen stations for cattle breeding, production of vaccines, drugs and nutraceuticals, cattle feed and fodder seed plants,
automated dairy farms, milking and testing machines, cold chain infrastructure, providing milk cans and tankers, among
others. “For us, the private sector is as important as the cooperative sector,” said Rajni Sibal, Joint Secretary,
Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries.

High milk yielding cattle
through surrogacy
UTTAR P RADESH GOVERNMENT has decided to use infertile cows
to increase high milk yielding cattle in the state through
surrogacy. In the process, embryos of high-yielding cattle will
be planted in the uterus of the infertile cows which will act as
surrogate mothers to produce high-yielding calves.
The state’s Livestock Development Board CEO Shri
B.B.S. Yadav said that not only the number of good variety
milching cows but the milk yield would also increase through
this method.
Amul fastest growing dairy
organisation in world
GCMMF that markets brand Amul is now the fastest

International Farm Comparison Network (IFCN) — a leading
global dairy knowledge organization — reveal that GCMMF
climbed five ranks in the list of top global dairy organizations
since 2012. It is the fastest growing dairy organisation in the
world and has risen to the 15th rank among top global dairy
companies in 2014. It has received this ranking both in terms of
total milk procurement and also turnover per litre of milk
procurement.
Cattle rearing aids Kerala
productivity
30
INCREASED ACTIVITY IN milch rearing in Kerala in the recent past is likely
to benefit the dairy industry and help improve milk production. From a
very small holding of two to three cows, the trend is slowly changing to
scientifically managed farms of 30-50 cows. “This is a good sign for the
dairy industry in the State as it is one of the most important economic
activities in rural areas,” according to Anand Menon, State President of
Compound Livestock and Feed Manufacturers Association (CLMFA
India).
Cattle population in Kerala, which consists of 80 per cent
crossbred exotic cows need high-quality feed for expression of its full
genetic potential. However, through the use of better germplasm, the
genetic potential could be further improved and productivity increased.
Kerala’s annual milk production is 27.91 lakh tonnes.

Prized Possession
YUVRAJ, A GIANT 1400 kg Murrah bull was recently
crowned champion at Meerut’s All India Cattle Show
by a 10-member jury. It is reported that the owner,
Karamvir Singh, who has brought the bull up “like a
son”, refused to sell it for a mind-boggling ` 7 crore.
“I earn close to ` 50 lakh a year from Yuvraj,” he
smiles. “Everything in life is not about money.”
Yuvraj stretches to 14 feet in length and a couple
of notches over 5 feet 9 inches in height. “He drinks
20 litres of milk a day, gobbles 5 kg of apples and 15
kg of very fine quality cattle feed,” says Karamvir.
“He also takes a 4km-walk daily. I spend more than
` 25,000 on his upkeep. A farmer from Chandigarh did
offer me ` 7 crore, but I don’t think I am ready to sell
Yuvraj.”
Ravinder Sangwan, senior scientist at Sardar
Vallabh Bhai Patel Agriculture University says, “Yuvraj is a perfect specimen of the Murrah breed. It generates 3.5
to 5 ml of very high quality semen everyday which is diluted to increase the volume to 35ml. 0.25ml is one dose of
semen used for artificially inseminating Murrah buffaloes and costs close to ` 1,500. So, ideally in a single day, a dairy
farmer can earn roughly about ` 2,10,000. And since Yuvraj’s mother was a high yield buffalo, said to be producing
close to 25 litres of milk a day, Yuvraj’s semen is in great demand in almost all the northern states.”
Yuvraj has earned the Best Animal trophy after being scrutinized on 30 characteristics including morphological
trait, semen quality, genetic history and even the quantity of milk that its mother used to yield. On all parameters,
Yuvraj has shown excellence.
Besides the Murrah there were other breeds that participated in the national-level cattle show, like the Tharparker,
Brown Swiss, Gir and Jersey varieties. Yuvraj, of course, was the undisputed winner.

growth, rising
prosperity and urbanisation in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
However, the supply and demand of milk is imbalanced across the world.
The rising demand in emerging dairy markets is unlikely to be fulfilled by
locally-produced raw milk, while developed dairy markets producing surplus
milk face the challenges of competing for the export and responding to falling
domestic consumption.
The report highlighted the opportunities and challenges posed by rising
global demand, which is set to overtake the available supply. Dennis Jönsson,
President and chief executive officer, Tetra Pak Group, commented, “The
predicted surge in global demand offers a huge opportunity for dairy companies
in developed markets to export powder and ambient liquid dairy products to
growing economies.”
“Markets such as China and Saudi Arabia are upping investments in
domestic dairy farming, partnering with foreign firms, and diversifying their
offerings with value-added products. These measures would help achieve the
vital balancing act of shoring up the future of a sustainable dairy industry,”
Jönsson said.

Whey Protein drink may help
control Type 2 Diabetes
WHEY PROTEIN DRINKS may help people with type 2
diabetes in controlling erratic glucose levels,
according to a study published in the journal
Diabetologia. 15 individuals with well-controlled
type 2 diabetes were given either 50 grams of
whey in 250 ml of water or placebo of just 250 ml
of water on two separate days. This was followed
by a high-glycemic index breakfast of three slices
of white bread and sugary jelly, designed to create
a post-meal glucose spike.
“The results showed that over the whole 180
min post-meal period, glucose levels were reduced
by 28%, after whey pre-load with a uniform
reduction driving both early and late phases,” the
Lund University, Tel Aviv University and
University of Jerusalem researchers wrote.
They said insulin and C-peptide responses were significantly higher than the control group at 105% and 43%
respectively. Meanwhile early insulin response was 96% higher after whey. Prof. Jakubowicz, one of the study's
authors, said: “High milk intake has long associated with lower risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease,
and milk whey protein increases the production of a gut hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that
stimulates insulin secretion. This, in turn, reduced the blood glucose rise after meals.”
Lactobacillus fermentum
for healthy aging

DAILY SUPPLEMENTS of the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum MTCC 5898 may
alleviate the age-related decline in immune function in the elderly, and promote
healthy aging, says a new study from India. Data from lab mice indicated that the
probiotic was associated with improvements in the function of antioxidant enzymes,
immune response, and increased resistance to E. Coli infection.
“Our results support our hypothesis indicating that probiotic Lactobacillus
fermentum supplementation alleviates immunosenescence, resists infections, and
improves anti-oxidant capacity, thereby augmenting healthy aging,” wrotes
researchers from National Dairy Research Institute in Nutrition Research.
“Immunosenescence refers to the inevitable, multi-faceted decline in the
function of the immune system during progressive aging,” explained the researchers,
and this makes the elderly more susceptible to infection and the effects of
inflammation.
