Dairy Farming Strategies and Gaps

This assignment examines the current state of dairy farming, highlighting key resource and strategic gaps. It analyzes issues such as poor farm management practices, limited access to credit and resources, and inadequate strategic planning. The document proposes recommendations for business units focusing on sustainable pasture land use, improved milk production and storage, and responsible fertilizer application. Justification for these recommendations is provided by emphasizing the global significance of the dairy industry and its economic impact.

Resources and strategies gaps
Due to poor farm management practices, lack of credit access and lack of input resources such as
feed, land, water, vaccines and medicines, the production system's resources are damaged due to
lack of awareness(Mushobozi, 2004). The following specific gaps affect the movement of
various diary feeding systems.
Spreading land and cattle rearing services and technology transfer is a miniature great resources
gap in investment in the development of work and back-end infrastructure (Mugera & Bitsch,
2005). Due to extreme deterioration and degradation of pasture land, there is a shortage of green
cultivation, which is a breakthrough in any diary industry.
The strategic gap of the dairy farms is on the production and price or use of debt which is main
strategic gap found in our diary business. This strategic gap has been occurred due to the
inexperience's strategic plan in animal husbandry and proper marketing plan.
Recommendations for business units
When a new pasture is planned for habitat or milking or a new pasture or food, the production
site should be tested against the risk of pollution and should be protected by adequate measures if
necessary. Should be evaluated for an agricultural farm (e. g pasture or new crop area Feed), re-
use of land, availability of water resources and quality assessed, and possible pest effects of
production on weed levels and disease and adjoining population, crop and especially in the
natural environment, production should be avoided to destroy the site forest. The milking process
and production should be correctly selected and managed so that the maximum Product quality,
traceability, and safety (Bitsch, Kassa, Harsh & Mugera, 2006). Milk storage and milking
facilities will be regularly maintained and properly and cleaned. Likewise, the conveyance of

drain to the customer is a way that will guarantee traceability and item quality. Sufficient
availability of fertilizers, accounting resources of soil, requirements of crop nutrition, surface and
climate, a risk for pollution and underground water. Use a budget for nutrition defines fertilizer
requirements.
Justification
People in almost all countries of the world do dairy products, and living one billion persons on
the dairy farm. It is an important part in the system of world food, and it take an important role in
durable condition of the rural zones in particular. This strategy is a significant fact which the
dairy sector actively donates to the economy of several regions, countries and communities. A
growing demand universal is significant now, and industrialization is global, thus growing the
intensity and scope of global business of dairy, though, the query of in what way and what
measures we can honestly evaluate the economic profits of dairy sector(Zhang, 2013). The dairy
products are an important part of the receipt of the food industry. About 13 percent of the food is
consumed by milk and dairy products. Food costs include twelve percent of disposable personal
income
Number one agricultural business in Dairy, Wisconsin, California, New York, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Idaho, New Mexico, Maine and Vermont in California alone, Dairy employs more
than the 400,000-plus population of a thirty billion artisans. Overproduction and price of these
two strategies create significant impact in the dairy industry, which is influenced by this industry
and firms employed in this industry.
