- Recent Basic Animal Husbandry (BAH) statistics show that milk production per crossbreed cow in Tamil Nadu has remained almost stagnant, mainly due to a shortage of feed and fodder.
- In Tamil Nadu, milk production per crossbreed cow has remained around 7.1 kg per day between 2018 and 2025.
- It ranged from 7.03 kg per day in 2023–24 to 7.84 kg per day in 2024–25, showing only a small improvement.
- The area under fodder crops in Tamil Nadu declined from 48,000 hectares (2018–19) to 35,000 hectares (2025).
- In Karnataka, fodder-crop coverage increased from 71,000 hectares to 90,000 hectares, and crossbred cattle produce about 10.71 kg of milk per day.
- Karnataka provides a milk subsidy of ₹5 per litre (recently increased to ₹7 per litre), while Tamil Nadu provides ₹3 per litre.
- Aavin currently procures about 30–35 lakh litres of milk per day, though its processing capacity is around 50 lakh litres per day.
