Following are the main
advantages of mixed farming:
(a) Farmyard manure is made available from
livestock which is used again in agricultural farms.
(b) Organic waste material like straw,
husks and chaffs of grains, household kitchen waste, etc., are converted into
human food through the agency of cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs, etc., as per the
choice of farmer.
(c) It provides work to all the members of
a family throughout the year, thus providing subsidiary occupation without the
need of employing special labour.
(d) Adopting exact combination in mixed
farming, income can be increased, e.g., the number of animals can be increased
(as per the food/crop available) to enhance milk production.
