Scientific Feeding Tips to Increase Milk Yield
Milk production is 70% nutrition and 30% genetics. To get the best out of your Gir cow or Jaffrabadi buffalo, a balanced ration (TMR) is mandatory.
The "Golden Ratio" for Feeding (Pashu aahar)
1. Green Fodder
20-25 kg (Lucerne, Maize, Sorghum).
2. Dry Fodder
5-6 kg (Wheat straw or Paddy straw).
3. Concentrate (Dhan)
Give 1 kg for body maintenance + 400g for every 1 liter of milk produced.
