  3. Impact of Heat Stress on Cattle • The article focuses on the impact of heat stress on Cattle. Elevated temperatures have a detrimental effect on cattle’s ability to display natural mating behavior. Rishabh has written the article and it is reviewed by our qualified faculty Vikash Gupta.

  4. Impact of Heat Stress on Cattle: • Heat stress reduces natural mating behavior, leading to a decline in the readiness to mate among female cattle. Conception rates drop significantly during hot summer months, with up to a 30% reduction. Lactating dairy cows are more sensitive to heat stress than non-lactating cows. High-yield cows are particularly affected due to the relationship between milk production and heat. Heat stress poses a challenge to sustaining milk production, impacting domestic demand and potentially reducing per capita consumption. It directly reduces milk production in the dairy sector and indirectly affects feed and water availability for cattle. • • • • •

  5. Issues Faced by Dairy Farmers: • Government policies, such as sex-sorted semen production, may unintentionally decrease the male cattle population. • Growing female cattle population could impact the utility of male cattle in agriculture. • Disposal of unproductive female animals is challenging due to anti-slaughter rules in many states.

  6. Status of Milk Production in India: • India is the world's largest milk-producing country, with 221.06 million tonnes of milk produced in 2021-2022. • Indigenous cattle contribute 10.35% of total milk production, non- descript cattle contribute 9.82%, and non-descript buffaloes contribute 13.49%. • Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh are the top five milk-producing states. • India's milk production accounts for approximately 23% of global milk production.
