The dairy farm with approx: 130 cows and thefarm is situated ina plateau.The best cow breed for milk production is Prim'Holstein which are generally 4 to 6 years old. They have black and white patches on their coat. These cows produce 35L milk/day and 8500L/lactation. These cows are bound with a belt in their neck that provides information about their location by GPS, tracks the distance they covers milk production and also it gives the information about animal in heat so that AI can be done timely.
Rising concentrate prices are forcing farmers to be more aware of basic forage production. Increased feed intake through quality hay is becoming more important as animal performance increases. Besides saving on concentrate, hay has a higher protein stability than grass or silage, which means that more protein reaches the small intestine without detours and is available to the animal, thus reducing metabolic stress. Warm air dried hay has a higher protein stability, which improves the protein supply in the small intestine and thus does not cause a feeling of satiety.The use of automatic miking machine is a new method of dairy farming be an edge to the dairy industry which reduces the burden on the farmer.It is quite efficient in milking and cow automatically comes in the milking machine to get milked due to the higly palatable feed in it.
