Dairy animal rearing is an integral part of small holder farming system in India. The traditional feeding system for dairy cattle is based on the use of straw, natural grasses supplemented with a little or no concentrates. Poor nutrition has been identified as a major constraint to productivity in smallholder dairy farming. In the present situation pastures are degraded and the area under green forage crops is shrinking due to increase in human population and urbanization. As a result the crop residues are the bulk of feeds available. They have low nutritional value, bulky and fibrous. Feeding crop residue based total mixed rations is the efficient method of utilization of crop residues and to minimize the wastage. A field trail was conducted to study the groundnut haulm based complete ration on production performance of Dairy cattle. Feeding trail was conducted for 90 days on 20 milch cows, randomly divided in to two groups; control and treatment with ten animals in each group. The control group were offered conventional ration consisting of 8 hours of grazing, green forage, paddy straw and concentrate mixture and the treatment group were fed on groundnut haulm based complete ration consisting of crushed groundnut haulm and concentrate in 60:40 ratio. The dry matter intake, average milk yield (kg/day), 4% FCM (kg/day), milk fat content were increased significantly (Pd”0.01) in the treatment group. Dry matter intake and feed cost per kg of 4% FCM did not differ significantly between two groups but were lower in the control group as compared to treatment group. Net profit over feed cost was higher in treatment group (Rs.56.02), compared to control group (Rs.41.04).
