Low Milk Production

What quantity of cow ration?likely to have chronic acidosis.

There are so many factors which affect the milk production.If you describe the complete management practices at your farm then only something may be analysed. Please write in detail the complete management program at your farm. Dr.Balkrishna Sharma

Guidelines for Feeding Dairy Cows Author/s : Beth Wheeler, Dairy Cattle Specialist - Ontario - Ministry of Agriculture and Food Please Read This article figure out the question .

We feed 3%of body weight 40% corn and 60 60% Alfa

Chronic acidosis in cows can drink live yeast, corn 5 kg / day given, alfalfa making changes.

Small change in your management may have some effect, during the dry period reduce water intake from feed (only feed) so more DM intake can be observed. Water should be given carefully after feeding, in small quantities of course required amount.

Problem seems a combination of management plus genetic of animals. I need following informations: 1- Is it pure HF herd or cross? 2- Age at first calving? 3- Weight at the first time breeding and at the 1st calving? 4- CP per kg DM? 5- Feed intake per day on DM basis? If I get these information I might be able to solve the riddle.

CAn you give me BCS of your animals>?

I do not agree with my friend Sunil gamagae. The low intake might be due to limited access to water. Give ne details about it.

hello sir, please find below comment s it pure HF herd or cross? Cross 2- Age at first calving? 2.6year 3- Weight at the first time breeding and at the 1st calving? Breading weight was 180kg 4- CP per kg DM? We have never done analysis of cp but we feed maize ,alfaalfa 5- Feed intake per day on DM basis? Never done analysis

Dairy cows feeding need if possible need to be analyized what level of DAA, ME Ca:P ratio and other minerals or vitamins, what is the ratio and quality of drinking water against feed and bodyweight, a lots of reading materials available. Well the genetic potential of the breed is also important, although it is HF doesnot gurantee the milk yield, look at the body compotation. Thanks

Cow has low body condition score (BCS) of 2.0 or less which indicates the ration is low in energy. Feces have too much structure - stands too high - a sign of too much indigestible fiber in ration. 75% or more of the feed offered to dairy cow is to meet her energy needs. That is first priority of this cow and your herd if other cows are similar BCS.

need bypass protein need bypass fat for improve milk production

HELLO KEN AS YOU SAID COW LACK IN ENERGY AND FIBER COULD YOU SUGGEST WHAT FEED SHOULD BE CONSIDER FOR ENERGY AND FIBER

The weight at the time of breeding should be 2,3 of mature weight. Your animals were bred when they were underfed. So lot of energy was used for reproduction production and foetus growth. The result is shorter lactation length, small size calves with low weight and low mink yield. Feed soya, maize and alfalfa having around 18% CP. Try to improve body weight or culling could be good policy. Cull the animal below wet average

I am not familiar with available feeds. Replace low quality forage (straw mature grass hay) with a ground grain such as corn, sorghum or milo, barley can be starting grain maybe 3 - 4 kg per cow per day. Feed at time of milking. Water should be available immediately after milking. Cow should get mineral supplement data to provide 200 grams CA 80-100 grams phosphorus, 80 grams magnesium. Salt block. Also a trace mineral package (Copper,zinc, manganese, cobalt, selenium and iodine. These are general guidelines based on US NRC publication.

All your dairy related problems such as reproduction, repeat breeders, perparturient disorders , body gain , milk quality and fat , SNF as well as stress either metabolic, climatic or environmental irrespective of the presence you will get the soln just by feeding and following method advised the following expert. contact him at inforenukavetmin@yahoo.com for further details.

Sir you can feed your animals with 55 gm / hd/ day of Diamond V 's Metabolites. You will automatically see the weight gain which would lead to betterment in all parameters.
