Shree Narayan dairy farm Success story

Shree Narayan dairy farm in Shili Gujrat was established in 2008, by Shri Sharad Rai Maharaj. Although ambitious with his goals, his efforts were failing him.
He started with 3 cows and there was decline in production as well as reproduction. Although efforts were made at a personal level, but the failing dairy could not be balanced, as a result, expansion of the project was likely to be suspended.
After much research in the field of successful dairy in Punjab, i met Shri Sharad Rai Maharaj. The curiosity of this man had led him to Punjab, where he could see so many dairy farms running successfully through thick and thin of the harsh variations in our tropical climate.
Although this man had bigger and more progressive plans for his dairy, there was no one to lead him to the proper way. After listening to the history of this farm, I could easily deduce that the farmers in Gujrat needed to adapt to the growing needs of dairy as well as accept and adapt to the challenges posed by improved germplasm of the new cows.
The history of this farm led me to work on the following parameters to make this farm a success in the coming years.
