Winter milk drop? Avoid these mistakes to boost production!

• Milk production in cows and buffaloes decreases during winter due to factors like reduced water intake, unbalanced diet, lack of sunlight, and cold.
• Farmers should provide lukewarm water and a balanced diet (wheat/gram bran, maize, jaggery, mineral mixture, salt) to animals in winter.
• Ensuring 2-4 hours of daily sunlight exposure and protecting animals from cold (shelter, bedding, woolen protection for calves) helps boost milk production.
• For digestive issues, a mixture of 1 tsp turmeric, 2-3 tsp ajwain, and 100-150 gm jaggery is recommended for 3-4 days.
