Initial Investment for a Cow Dairy Farm in Haryana The cost of setting up a dairy farm depends on multiple factors such as the number of cows, farm infrastructure, fodder management, and operational expenses.

Land and Infrastructure Cost Land is a crucial requirement for setting up a dairy farm. Ideally, you need 1-2 acres of land for a 10-cow farm. If you already own land, you can save a significant amount. However, if you need to purchase it, the cost varies based on location: ○ Rural areas – ₹5–10 lakh per acre ○ Semi-urban areas – ₹15–30 lakh per acre Apart from land, infrastructure costs include: ○ Cow Shed Construction – ₹2–5 lakh ○ Water & Drainage System – ₹50,000–₹1 lakh ○ Milking Machines – ₹50,000–₹2 lakh ○ Fodder Storage & Equipment – ₹50,000–₹1 lakh 3.

For a 10-cow dairy farm, the total feeding cost will be: ○ Monthly: ₹30,000–₹50,000 ○ Annually: ₹3.6–6 lakh Growing green fodder on your farm can help reduce this cost. 4. Labor and Operational Costs A small-scale dairy farm requires 2-3 workers to manage feeding, milking, and cleaning.

Veterinary and Health Care Expenses Regular vaccinations, deworming, and medical care are necessary for dairy cows. The estimated veterinary cost per cow per year is ₹3,000–₹5,000. For a 10-cow farm, this amounts to ₹30,000–₹50,000 annually. 6. Miscellaneous Expenses Other costs include: ○ Electricity & Water Charges – ₹2,000–₹5,000 per month ○ Marketing & Branding – ₹50,000–₹1 lakh per year ○ Insurance & Unexpected Expenses – ₹50,000 per year
