Out of this, total production; 81.3 million tonnes come from buffaloes, 78.1 million tonnes from cows and 5.7 million tonnes from Goats. Many domestic and foreign dairy processing companies are showing interest in the dairy industry of the country now a days and focus on the hygienic milk production is on the rise. Some companies also give credit in the form of bonus or incentives to the milk producers on the basis of milk quality.
