Summer Livestock Care: Dry Fodder Fatal, Green Fodder Alone Insufficient, Says Raebareli Vet

• Dry fodder is harmful for cows and buffaloes in summer, affecting their health and milk production.
• Dr. Indrajeet Verma, Veterinary Superintendent at Government Veterinary Hospital Shivgarh, Raebareli, recommends green fodder like jowar and berseem as a natural nutrition source.
• Green fodder provides protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, aiding healthy digestion, preventing water deficiency, and boosting milk production.
• A balanced diet is crucial, including green fodder, clean water, oil cake-bran, and mineral mixture, not just green fodder alone.
• Keep animals in shady places, provide water regularly, and maintain clean living spaces for improved health and increased farmer income.
