Using farm‐level data from dairy farmers in India's Bihar state and the two‐stage residual inclusion method, this study investigates the impact of the adoption of food safety measures (FSMs) on milk yield and profitability of smallholder dairy farms. This study reveals that herd size and experience in dairy farming have a significant effect on the number of FSMs smallholders adopt. An additional FSM increases milk yield by about 1% and profitability by about 2.3%. An extra year of education increases yield and profits by about 3.8% and 4.9%, respectively. The government could design and incentivize policies that help increase herd size and promote better housing conditions for animals, thus promoting the uptake of FSMs and increased milk yield and profitability.

小农户奶农的食品安全措施和食品安全：来自印度比哈尔邦的经验证据

本研究使用印度比哈尔邦奶牛场的农场水平数据和两阶段残差包含法，研究了采用食品安全措施（FSM）对小农奶场的牛奶产量和盈利能力的影响。这项研究表明，奶牛场的规模和经验对小农采用的FSM数量有重大影响。附加的FSM将牛奶产量提高约1％，将利润率提高约2.3％。一年多的教育可以使收益率和利润分别增加3.8％和4.9％。政府可以设计和激励政策，以帮助增加畜群规模并改善动物的住房条件，从而促进对FSM的吸收并提高牛奶产量和利润率。[EconLit引文：问题12，问题16，问题18]。
