Cow It’s not a phase it’s not a hobby it’s not for everyone poster. Dairy cows need a good amount of nutrients to sustain life and also need a huge amount of nutrients for weight gain, pregnancy and milk production. Feed cost accounts for about 70% of the total cost of dairy farming. Dairy feed is very diverse, agricultural by-products and processing industry are also valuable feed sources for dairy cows. It is important to provide adequate, good-quality feed to dairy cows, cows cannot produce a lot of milk or good quality milk by feeding only rice straw or poor quality feed.
Content of dry matter (proteins, sugars, fats, minerals …) in milk is 12% on average (ie in 1 kg of milk contains 120g of dry matter), a dairy cow weighing 400 kg has production. The average amount of milk is 4,000 kg / cycle and during one cycle it produces a dry matter amount of 480 kg, which is much larger than the body weight itself. These substances can only be produced in milk, from food supplied to cows. Always ensure that clean water is readily available to feed cows because a high yielding cow can consume more than 100 kg of water per day.
