Boost Milk Production: Scientific Diet Management Key for Farmers

• Scientific diet management is crucial for increasing milk production amidst rising costs, diseases, and climate change.
• A balanced diet of green fodder (maize, sorghum, berseem, Napier grass), dry fodder, and concentrate feed (legume husks, oilseed cake, maize husks) is essential for animal health and milk yield.
• Regular mineral mixture and salt supplementation address deficiencies in calcium, phosphorus, and zinc, preventing production drops and reproductive issues.
• Clean and sufficient water intake is vital, as milk is 85% water; providing water 2-3 times daily significantly boosts production.
• Proper shed management (clean, airy, dry), regular milking, timely vaccination, deworming, and stress-free environment are equally important for sustained milk production.

Why It Matters: Optimizing animal diet and care through scientific management significantly increases milk production and farm sustainability.
