Herd Projection

The document outlines the technical and financial assumptions for a 10-herd dairy farm operation including herd composition, housing, feeding, labor costs, and projected herd growth over 5 years. Key assumptions include a herd of 10 cows consisting of Sahiwal and Holstein Friesian breeds, 1 bull, housing and feeding requirements, estimated expenses for facilities, supplies, and labor, and projected increases in herd size each year through calving and replacements.

Technical Assumption of 10-herd level


A. Technical Assumption
Production System Semi-Intensive
Stocks
Cow Frieswal
70% Sahiwal
30% Holstien Friesian
Bull Frieswal
60% Sahiwal
40% Holstien Friesian
Bull to Cow Ratio 1:25
Carrying Capacity 1 to 1.5 animals/ha
Housing
Cow 7 sq m/head
Bull 7 sq m/head
Growing 4 sq m/head
Land Area 15 hectares for 10 cow-level
Type of Housing Semi-Concrete
Conception rate 80%
Calving per year 90%
Concentrate Consumption (lactating) 1.36kg/day per head x 365 days
Forage consumption (lactating) 26.11kg/day per head x 365 days
Concentrate Consumption (dairy bull) 1.4kg/day per head x 365 days
Forage consumption (dairy bull) 24.5kg/day per head x 365 days
Milking
Milk yield per day 10.5L
Calves milk consumption 3.5 L
Weaning period 7-8 weeks
Calf ratio 40% males and 60% females
Kinds of forage Napier, signal grass and leguminous
species
Mortality Rate 5%
Urea-molasses-mineral-block (UMMB) (dry season March-May)
Assumptions;
Sahiwal produce 1400-2500 liters per lactation.
(1400+2500)/2 = 1950 liters ave.
1950 liters /305 day of lactation = 6 liters/day
70% Sahiwal x 6 = 4.2
(6/42) x70 = 100%

1. Holstein Friesian produce 6000 to 7000 liters per lactation.

(6000+7000)/2 = 6500 liters ave.


6500 liters /305 day of lactation = 21 liters/day
30% Holstien Friesian x 21 = 6.3
(21/6.3) x 30 = 100%
Therefore, a frieswal produce 10.5 litters of milk per day.
