While per dairy per year net income Rs. 268000 was secured in large size group (maximum) and Rs. 21728 in small size group (minimum) respectively. The overall average per return per milch buffalo per size group per year was Rs. 8518 and per year per dairy net return Rs. 127383.33 respectively. The human labour employment was increased as per increase of dairy size groups ranging from 255 days (minimum) in small size dairy to 1146 days (maximum) in large size groups. The overall per dairy size farm average human labour days employment was 601 days having its labour wage Rs. 24040. There was cent percent use of family labour in small size group and the share of hired human labour in total human labour employment was 70% in large size group. The human labour was continuously employed for whole of the year whether it was favourable or deficit monsoon year. Thus conclusion may be drawn that in Rewa district if higher milch buffalo breeds are raised with proper feeding and care then respective dairy size groups will not only provide continued assured maximum net income but will also be employed human labour of that area for whole of the year at their doorsteps as well as helpful in solving the exadous of labour force in bad monsoon years.
