Pay attention to the farmers who work in animal husbandry

ANIMAL HUSBANDARY- Balanced ration is very essential in order to give enough energy to the animals for daily needs.

• For a cow giving seven kilogram milk and a buffalo giving 5 kilogram milk, the daily ration for that animal must include 25-30 kilogram leguminous fodder (Berseem, lucern etc), 7-8 kilogram dry roughages like wheat straw, 2-3 kilogram concentrate and 30-40 gram mineral mixture.
• If leguminous fodder is present in greater amount, then 50-60 kilogram green fodder with 4-5 kilogram dry roughages and 30-40 gram mineral mixture should be offered to the animal.
• There is no need to feed concentrate with such type of ration.
• However for high yielding animals after 5 kilogram milk, for every 2.5 kilo milk in cow and every 2 litre milk in buffalo, one kilogram compounded feed should be offered.
