Jamal Dairy Farm: Technology Adoption Challenges

Abstract

This case clinically analyses the dynamics of the dairy sector and its core foundations, without which it is impossible to run this enterprise successfully. The prime focus is to understand the prerequisites of establishing a sustainable and profitable dairy farm considering the most critical climate factor. It provides guidelines for good dairy farming practices, challenges, and probable measures to address the obstacles. Most importantly, this case presents the execution of a mixed blend of existing and modern dairy farm practices considering prevalent constraints in the sector. The differences in breed, feed, nutrition, animal welfare, environment, and technology between the leading dairy-producing countries and developing countries (like Pakistan) are highlighted. Finally, the case suggests good dairy farming practices adopted in the local context to operate a dairy farm efficiently.
