Avoid These Leaves! Milk Production Drops in Milch Animals, Experts Warn

• Feeding mustard and lamb's quarters (bathua) leaves in large quantities to milch animals during winter reduces milk production.
• Vaidya Kalicharan Soni, an animal expert from Chhatarpur, advises against feeding large amounts due to their warm nature.
• Only 2-4 mustard leaves can be mixed with hay, but large quantities are harmful, especially for pregnant cows and buffaloes.
• Farmer Gorelal experienced a significant drop in his buffalo's milk after feeding these leaves excessively.
• Veterinarian Matadeen Patel confirms that while small amounts are okay, large quantities are detrimental to milk yield, though suitable for goats and oxen.

Why It Matters: Feeding mustard and bathua leaves in excess reduces milk production in milch animals; feed sparingly or avoid.
