Advisory for livestock

CHICK- Proper feed management is very important with arrival of cold seasons, especially for newly procured chicks. During cold seasons the birds need more feed to keep them warm and to perform normal functions. Always ensure that feed and clean drinking water is always accessible to chickens all through the day.

COW- During onset of cold season, farmers are advised to take proper care of feeding of their animals. Nutrition, especially balanced rations, fortified and supplemented with protein ingredients becomes important. Rations containing about 17 per cent fibre in the animal feed are also helpful to increase fat percentage in milk. Concentrate mixture should comprise grains (40 per cent), oil cakes (32 per cent), brans (25per cent), mineral mixture (2per cent) and common salt (1 per cent).
