The milk production and Health of the animals totally depend on the Dairy feed. it should be full of nutrients like protein. carbohydrates, Vitamin,Minerals.<\/p>\n
Generally, the animals don\u2019t speak for the feed, we have to provide them quality feed for quality milk production. The feed is an important source for the animals to stay alive, Proper growth, and Milk production. In commercial Dairy farming, the Dairy feed should be packed with all the Nutrients like Protein, carbohydrate, vitamins, and Minerals for the good Health and High Production of Milk.<\/p>\n
It is true that the Quality feed gives the Quality Results. The quality feed helps the cow to come on heat at the proper time.<\/p>\n
In\u00a0commercial Dairy farming<\/strong>, 60% of the total cost is only spent on Dairy Feeds.<\/p>\n there should be a proper arrangement of Feed trough in the\u00a0Diary Housing<\/strong><\/p>\n Protein:<\/strong>\u00a0Protein is essential for the muscles growth as well as in the production of milk. The proper protein in the diet of animals keeps them healthy and disease free.<\/p>\n Minerals:<\/strong>\u00a0Minerals helps to maintain the water balance in the animal body also helps in bone growth and high production of milk. The whole minerals are not present in the feed that\u2019s why we have to provide them from external sources and mix in the concentrates. The requirement of minerals is very much needed when animals are in stress.<\/p>\n Vitamins:<\/strong>\u00a0there are many types of vitamins which helps in body functioning of animal. It helps in feed digestion and proper working of metabolism.<\/p>\n Water:\u00a0<\/strong>Water should always present in front of animals. It helps in milk production. Milk contains 90% water<\/p>\n Energy:\u00a0<\/strong>Energy is much needed in the feed for milk production. Energy is quite needed for daily routine(walking, eating, breath) of animals,<\/p>\n There are three types of Dairy Feed required for the better performance by animals and we get the maximum output. The dairy feed should contain 80% Forages and 20 % concentrates. To much concentrate can decrease the fat percentage of milk.<\/p>\n Provide 1.25 kg concentrated feed 20-30 kg green Fodder per 250 kg body weight for better results.<\/p>\n The consumption of feed Differs from\u00a0Breed to Breed.<\/strong><\/p>\n Green forages is important for the cattle. The cattle\u2019s loves to eat fresh green forages once in a day. The Green forages contain Energy, Crude protein, Crude fiber. There are 80 % moisture and 60 to 70 % digestible nutrients in green forages.<\/p>\n The fresh chopped green fodder is good for cattle\u2019s health and it is easily digestible. The green forages should be as much as possible in the whole day diet of cattle\u2019s to get the maximum production.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Cowpea, Sorghum, Pearl millet, Moringa or oliefera,\u00a0 Lucerne (alfa alfa),\u00a0<\/strong>HedgeLucerne, maize grass, cowpea, , Napier grass or Elephant grass), Guinea, Beffel grass, Marvel grass, Sewan grass, cluster bean, fenugreek Grass,<\/p>\n The green forages should contain high leaves and fewer stems. The stem should be soft or the color should be dark green.<\/p>\n The Dry forages are packed with the nutrients in it. it contains approx 15 % moisture 85% Dry matter which is quite good for the milk production as well as the health of cattle\u2019s.<\/p>\n Concentrates should be in the diet of cattle\u2019s every day according to body weight animals. It provides energy to the animals. The extra amount of concentrates should be provided to the lactating cows. All the needed nutrients are available in the concentrates which are not enough available in forages.<\/p>\n Concentrate provides an adequate amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fats to cattle. Give concentrates according to body weight, don\u2019t give to much. It should be uncooked or un-boiled. Don\u2019t dilute with water.<\/p>\n Milk Lactation & feed intake cycle of cows throughout the year<\/strong><\/p>\n Lactation starts when the calf is born. The early lactation is of 0 to 70 days in which the milk production is at high. In the mid of early lactation, the milk production is at peak level. The 18% crude protein of Dry mater is required in the Early lactation. If the feed doesn\u2019t meet according to the requirement than milk production reduces and cows use reserved fat of the body and weight reduces.<\/p>\n Mid lactation is of 70 to 200 days in which the milk production starts decreasing. The requirement of dry matter is at peak level in the starting of mid lactation and the weight also starts increasing. The 16 % crude protein of dry mater is required in the Mid lactation. In mid lactation period, the cow comes in heat and this is the time of insemination in the start of mid lactation. The cow should be inseminated before 140 days of mid lactation.<\/p>\n Late lactation is of 200 to 305 days in which the milk production continuously decreases every week and reached to lowest till 305 days. The dry matter feed intake also decreases. \u00a0The cow is pregnant so body weight increases. The 14 % crude protein of dry mater is required.<\/p>\n The dry period is of 305 to 365 days in which there is no milk production, weight increases, and dry matter feed intake decreases.\u00a0 The cow is pregnant and calcium and phosphorus are required more in this two months period.<\/p>\n there is the only way to get the maximum production from the cows that is to provide them quality feed according to their Lactation period. Do Proper care of Calf, Heifer, and bull provide them good feed they make the same value as Cows they are the future of the farm. A nutrients packed feed makes the animal healthy and Disease free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The milk production and Health of the animals totally depend on the Dairy feed. it should be full of nutrients like protein. carbohydrates, Vitamin,Minerals.
