1. Introduction

Domestic Dairy industry has capacity and capability of producing substantial amount of quality milk

and milk products to the prevailing market at affordable prices while keeping reasonable profit

margins to all stakeholders in the production marketing chain without damaging to the environment.

Hence it plays an important role in building strong national economy by assisting to ensure food

security, food safety and self sufficiency, provide income generating opportunities, alleviate poverty,

mitigate regional disparity in income distribution, solve other critical economic issues such as under

nutrition, inequity, scarcity of foreign exchange, gender discrimination, environmental pollution etc.

It has special capabilities to develop rural economy by using locally available otherwise under

utilized natural grasses, crop residues, agro industrial byproducts and wastes and knowledge and

skills of rural community.

However local production, especially milk and milk products is sufficient only to meet 33% percent

of the requirement at current consumption rate. The balance amount is supplied by the import paritywhich cost around Rs 27 billions annually. This situation has geared up the local livestock sector to

strengthen its capacity to meet self reliance of milk and milk products.

The Livestock statistics 2009 indicates 1.13 million cattle 0.37 million buffaloes and in respect of

milk and meat the contribution for national requirement is estimated at 33% milk, 35 % meat. Per

capita consumption of milk and milk products in Sri Lanka is low compared to other South Asian

countries and at present per capita consumption of milk is 3.6kg /year.

The cattle and buffaloes are reared in five major agro climatic zones; UP Country, Mid Country, The

Coconut Triangles, Low Country Wet Zone, and the Dry Zone. The dry zone has both rain fed and

irrigated farming systems which account approximately 70 - 75 percent of the cattle and buffalopopulation. In Mid and Up Country Cattle population it is estimated that nearly 60 percent of the

cattle population is dairy cows. In the coconut triangle and wet zone the proportion of dairy cows is

around 40 percent whereas in the dry zone it is around 35 percent. At present dairy industry in Sri

Lanka primarily depends on natural pasture and fodder found on road side, ravines, tank banks and

uncultivated public and private lands. Very few grow pasture and fodder for the purpose of feeding

their animals.

The total land area utilized for livestock production in combination with crops is estimated to be

about 670,000 ha with an estimated 50,000 ha under improved pastures. (Rajasuriya,1996).

These five agro climatic zones collectively and significantly contribute for the national milk

production. The national cattle and buffalo population have been decreasing but the overall milk

production and collection figures show an increase from year 2005 onwards from 192 million liters to

233 million liters (in year 2009 and 249 million estimated in 2010 ?. From 2005 onwards national

milk production has grown by nearly 21 % based on official data (Department of Census and

Statistics). This growth in milk production may be as a consequence of continuous effort made by the

sector to develop its productivity. This increase may be accelerated by the rapid growth in road

infrastructure development which strengthens the collection network. On the other hand neither

accounted nor collected of milk production for 3 decades due to prolonged war has been added to the

national statistics. Simultaneously 2008 and 2009 world milk prices and a result of these trends

import value of milk powder and other milk products continue to be remained stable. However

imports of milk, mainly milk powder, continue to be significant feature of the Sri Lankan economy, if

there is sufficient effort is not geared for the development of the sector.

This industry faces a new production challenge to compensate the escalating milk powder prices in

the world market. According to the recommended daily dietary allowances of milk by the health

authorities and estimated mid year human population annual requirements of milk for years 2010 and

2015 are shown in Table 1.

4. Development Programs

Following programs have been developed for implementation in the dairy sector during the period of2010 to 2015.

4.1. Production System Based Smallholder Dairy Farms Development Program

Smallholder dairy farmers are the only group of people who have safeguard the domestic dairy

industry under enormous amount of hardships and difficulties in the past. However, they have to beadequately rewarded financially, socially or any other meaningful way. Ensuring of a minimum

amount of daily income enough to cover monthly family expenses is one way of consoling these

farmers and is the biggest way of producing milk for the country. This program have been developedto work with 120, 000 farmers having 690,000 breedable cows to produce 530 million liters of milk

annually while ensuring production levels for each farmer as shown in Table 2.

direct sales of their branded farm products at urban, peri-urban and rural markets. These farms will

also be developed as private cattle breeder farms. There will be thirty thousand (30,000) initial stock

in these farms to contribute twenty five and half (25.5) million liters of milk annually to national grid.

These farms will be supported by special farm planning with out grower system, fodder development,

commercial level hay production, cattle breeding, disease control and other required technical support

programs.

A National level farmer forum will be established for these investors.

8. Challenges facing the Livestock Sector Development High cost of Cattle feed, 60 percent of the local coconut meal production is exported while

local farmers are facing higher price.

Non availability of quality pasture / fodder and shortage of improved grass (pasture seed andlands for grass cultivation.

No efficient breeding services. AI coverage is limited due to limited funds and lack ofsufficient human resources. (LDI, PAIT etc.)

Illegal slaughter of dairy animals Higher number of annual slaughter which nearly similar to number of AI born calves and

hence the cattle population growth rate is negative.

No ambulatory system of services at district level. (Treatment / Training etc.) Less attention for calf care program. No special dairy development program for upcountry tea plantation Unsatisfactory evening milk collection system in rural areas No efficient extension service for the development of livestock production Less attention is paid for livestock development by the provincial councils in their agenda

while priority is given for other infrastructure development

Poor breeding efficiency of cows especially due to longer calving intervals and age at 1stcalving

Even though the large proportion of the herd is upgraded with exotic blood the potential yieldis not achieved due to poor management and nutrition levels.

Not enough incentive and attention for integration of dairy farming with crop cultivation.
