Green Fodder Solution: Boost Milk Production This Summer

• Farmers often face green fodder shortages in summer, impacting milch animal nutrition and production.
• Cultivating specific fodder crops in February can ensure a steady supply of green fodder during peak summer months.
• Berseem (Egyptian clover) cultivation (10-12 kg seeds per acre) allows for two harvests monthly, maintaining animal production.
• Alfalfa, a perennial plant, can be cultivated year-round, providing continuous fodder.
• Napier grass, known as 'green gold,' and Cowpea, a nutritious leguminous crop, are excellent perennial options for increasing milk production.

Why It Matters: Cultivating Berseem, Alfalfa, Napier grass, or Cowpea ensures green fodder availability and boosts milk production.
