Energy analysis of livestock farming system seems to be a promising approach to investigate and assess the energy use efficiency, environmental problems and their relation to sustainability. Therefore, effective energy usage is one of the key factors for sustainable dairy production which provides financial savings, fossil resources preservation and air pollution reduction. Hence, the present study was workout energy budgeting of dairy based integrated farming system during 2019-21 in Karnal, Haryana. The study was conducted both at on-station and on-farm. For on-farm, one farmer practicing traditional dairy-based model was selected from Karnal district. For on-station study, dairy-based Integrated Farming System (IFS) model developed at NDRI was selected. The results revealed that with the same unit of land (1 ha), Energy budgeting was more efficient for farmer’s system with energy use efficiency of 1.97 while for on-station system it was 1.73. Net energy gain of 201168.52 MJ at on-station and it was 259762.10 MJ for farmer’s field. Direct and indirect energy input in on-station system and farmer’s field were 29214.91 MJ, 248208.30 MJ and 35872.02 MJ, 232955.20 MJ, respectively. On-station IFS system utilized more renewable energy than farmer’s field (88.62% vs 83.72%) while non-renewable energy consumption was more for farmer’s field (16.28%) than the on-station system (11.38%). Based on above results it can be concluded that energy budgeting was better at farmer’s field than on-station IFS system. However, on-station IFS model utilized more renewable energy.
