Starting Buffalo Milk Business
Is farming one of your passions? You better extend that passion into a profitable business.
And one of the many possible ventures that you may start is the buffalo milking business - here are the few steps and advice.
Buffalos are one of the best milk producers. They provide real high-quality milk especially when under the right treatment. Hence, there is a big potential for this kind of agri-business.
Establishing a buffalo milk business entails certain technicalities aside from fundamental needs such as capital, location, and breeds. These fundamentals are, however, necessary to be fulfilled appropriately for they play major importance. The capital definitely needs to be sufficient to provide for the necessities of the business. Things to consider in choosing the location is that it must be near to most of the milk buyers that you wish to supply to cut costs on delivery expenses. The breed here pertains to the manner of raising the buffalos and it is associated with providing food for them, breathing ground, and multiplying their numbers. Since it is a milking business, then most of the buffalo that you should raise are females. Having males will also be essential if you wish to breed them.
Going back to the technical aspects of the business, it pertains to the skills and equipment. Above all, the most important thing that you should ask first is whether you have the skills to raise and milk the buffalos. On the other hand, if all you have are managerial skills, you should hire individuals that are highly skilled in that line of business. This will assure you of providing the best milk possible out of your buffalos.

A critical aspect in putting up this kind of business is in properly milking the buffalo. Hence, it is important to have, if not the best, at least the right method for doing so.
In addition, it is also important to construct a storage room for both feeds and milk. Another factor is on having a farm that is healthy for the animals. Since they feed on plants, ensure that the farm is in its best condition to feed them. On the other hand, you can also seek help from feed suppliers.

@srinivasarao, what is your plan? How big your farm is going to be? How many buffaloes you are planning to buy. It is hard to find loan for buying buffaloes so you can start small buy taking loans from your friends and relatives, you can also approach you society to grant you some. Once your business is built then apply for loan in your local banks. You can buy buffaloes from local market or from people who are already in the market.
