Agricultural production. I live in a village in north Punjab, And I want to show you Village life. How easy to get pure milk for tea. In my area, mostly small farmers. The land is less than an acre. We use the dung for field fertility? Corn rice and wheat are cash crops. In livestock, mostly cow, buffalo, goat and sheep are breeding. Roads are good from field to market. Farmers also use for drying their corn ears. I shift fodder from the field by my black donkey. It is not easy to handle a donkey. Its saddle Dressage is not similar to horse dressage.

 

 

But it showcases donkey’s unique traits and abilities. So, a slow plodding walk is the most comfortable gate for a donkey. I use a small sickle to cut grass or cereal crops. It takes enough time but I have completed my task in 10 minutes. The next step of my daily routine is

Chopping the fodder. Electric fodder cutting machine is a good facility, but the electricity load chatting problem is used to say good words about government. But I have continued my work with the hand cutter to complete my task.

 

 

After 10 a.m. Temperature is high about 40 degree Celsius. Now time to rest and drink pure milk. The groundwater level is not as low as in Indian Punjab. It is 30 feet to 40 .The hand pump is also working properly .It is 5 pm I am milking the buffalo. In this procedure very difficult moment is to handle the calf. Especially when over 4 months old a Calf can drag you. The price of pure milk in my village is about 2 liter in 1 dollar. No doubt average milk yield per lactation is Two thousand four hundred thirty liters.

But such animal of Nile Ravi breed are also available. Producing 3000 to 5000 liters per lactation. The daily average is between 8 liters to 40 liters. It depends on your buffalo breed.
