Abstract:
The productivity of indigenous milk-producing animals in Bangladesh is low because of low individual yield and poor fertility. The resistance to diseases and climatic stress exhibited by a particular breed is an important overall consideration. It is only when the major constraints to productivity are overcome that the genetic potential for milk production becomes important (Dargie 1989). Thus, the purpose of this study was to find out the practical constraints on dairy cattle production using locally available forages under small holding village conditions of Bangladesh.
