Abstract:

This interdisciplinary research and real-world applications to improve India’s agricultural and rural economy. In this framework, we study and demonstrate study of Milk Production as case study carrying out in some villages of Pandharpur and Mangalwedha talukas. This study analyses the dynamics of dairy production using statistical tools and sustainable practices. Milk production, a dynamic sector of agriculture, not only contributes significantly to food safety and nutritional health but also supports rural livelihoods and economic growth for the country. The primary data was collected to study cost structures, productivity and sustainability factors in dairy farmingfrom milk producers. The analysis is carried out to study relationships between variablessuch as animalmaintenance, feedstuff type, hygiene practices and milk yield. The statisticalmethodology is applied in termsof exploratory data analysis, descriptive statistics and testing of hypothesis. The studyfindings shown thatlow margins produced by majority of producers after covering cost related to maintenanceand smallproportion of producers are reported high profits. The results are shown that there aresignificant associationsbetween sustainable practices such as regular washing of cattle and the providing of wetfodder and increasedmilk production and productivity. Furthermore, the study emphasized that there are equallevels of profit both
