The Science of Milk Production
Milk production in dairy cattle is directly influenced by nutrition. A well-balanced diet ensures not only higher yields but also better milk quality and herd longevity.
Key Nutritional Components
Energy
Dairy cows require substantial energy for milk production. Our cattle feed is formulated with the right balance of carbohydrates and fats to meet these demands.
Protein
Crude protein levels should be adjusted based on the lactation stage. Early lactation requires higher protein (18-20%) while mid to late lactation needs moderate levels (14-16%).
Minerals and Vitamins
Calcium and phosphorus are critical for milk production. Vitamin D, E, and selenium play key roles in udder health and immunity.
Feeding Schedule Tips
- Feed at consistent times each day
