Abstract

Dairy farm management plays a pivotal role in the milk production ability of dairy animals. There are many factors like use of quality breeds, feeding management, housing management, health management, culling and replacement of animals, labour management etc., which directly and/or indirectly affect the economics of dairy farming. In this article, the role of those dairy farm management factors in optimizing milk production is briefly discussed which should be strictly followed to increase the production potential of dairy animals, and ultimately, to make the dairy business as a successful enterprise.
