This study evaluates an intervention in the dairy subsector by an Indian livelihood promotion institution. Two contributions are being made. For one, the study is among the first to evaluate not only the credit-impact of an integrated microfinance approach but also the impact of additional financial and non-financial services on investment specific returns and general outcome indicators. Furthermore, an innovative contribution to the literature is made by estimating the subjective expected return to investment into a milk producing animal.
