ABSTRACT :
An investigation was carried out to study the socio economic conditions,
milking management practices and quality of milk with 120 milk producers in rural
and urban areas of YSR Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh. Majority of respondents
rearing crossbred cows (75.00%) and buffaloes (58.33%) belonged to male groups
involving in dairy activities. Majority of the crossbred cow farmers (43.33%) had the
education up to high school level whereas in buffalo farmers majority (41.66%) was
illiterate in the entire study area. Dairying was the main occupation after agriculture
for 40.00 per cent of crossbred cattle and 33.33 per cent of buffalo milk respondents.
Maximum percentage of farmers belonged to medium size family (4–6 members)
with nuclear family type in both crossbred cow and buffalo milk respondents.
Majority belonged to landless category (43.33%) in crossbred cow farmers whereas in
buffalo milk respondents, majority belonged to 2-5 acres land holding category. In the
selected area of study, majority (55.00%) of crossbred cow farmers had extension
contact with veterinarians as against majority of (56.67%) of buffalo farmers had
extension contact with para veterinarians. In both crossbred cow and buffalo milk
respondents, majority of farmers had no exposure to any type of mass media related to
animal husbandry activities.

Majority of crossbred cow (96.67%) and buffalo (93.33%) farmers practiced
wet hand milking in the study area. None of the crossbred cow and buffalo farmers
practiced machine method of milking. Maximum number of crossbred cow and
buffalo respondents adopted knuckling method of milking at starting of milking
operations followed by stripping at the end of milking. Minimum per cent of
respondents among crossbreds (13.33%) and buffalo milk producers (11.67) adopted
full hand method of milking in the study area. None of the respondents practiced
dipping of teats in antiseptic solution. After milking the usual practice of straining of
milk with muslin cloth was not followed by majority of milk producers while cleaning
of milk utensils was done with disinfectant by majority of the crossbred and buffalo
milk producers. Before milking of animals, washing of hands with water was
practiced by majority of milk producers in the study area. Most of the crossbred cow
(90.00%) and buffalo (75.00 %) farmers were cleaning the udder alone. Majority of
the crossbred cow (70.00%) farmers and 46.67 per cent of buffalo farmers were using
pucca flooring in the animal houses. More than 50.00 per cent of the farmers were
cleaning the animal sheds twice daily.
The quality of milk was analyzed by chemical composition of milk with
Lactan 1 – 4 milk Analyzer and somatic cell counts with Delaval Somatic cell
counter. The pooled averages of Fat, SNF, Protein per cent along with SCC (x103/ml)
of the crossbred cow milk in the study area were 3.61 ± 0.09, 8.20 ± 0.04, 3.41 ± 0.06
and 473.65 ± 94.58.The pooled averages of Fat, SNF, Protein per cent and SCC
(x103) of buffalo milk in the entire study area were 7.07 ± 0.21, 9.19 ± 0.10, 3.78 ±
0.05 and 167.68 ± 28.80, respectively. The Protein per cent of crossbred cow milk in
rural areas showed a significant variation (P
