• Proper diet for Jersey cows, balancing protein, grains, green fodder, and minerals, is crucial for increased milk production and income.
• Dr. Jitendra Kumar Gupta emphasizes that a balanced diet with protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins is essential for cow health and milk yield.
• Protein-rich feeds like mustard, soybean, linseed, and sunflower oilcakes, along with crushed maize, millet, and wheat, boost strength and milk quantity.
• Green fodder, hay, mineral mixture (2% of total fodder), and salt (1%) prevent deficiencies and strengthen bones and teeth.
• Adjust feed based on lactation: non-lactating cows need 1-1.25 kg concentrate, 3 kg hay, 15-20 kg green fodder; lactating cows need 400g concentrate per liter of milk, 4-6 kg hay, 25-30 kg green fodder.
