An excellent article and author should be praised to simplify very important aspects of nutrition to improve the milk yield. I wish if author can put some light or he may have included buffalo milk into his research.
This is an excellent article reporting nutritional association with milk composition in dairy animals. We are working on similar lines looking for effect of feed types, body condition and age on milk composition in various dairy breeds (buffalo, cattle and goats) of local origin as well as those varying levels of exotic blood.
This is very informative article about milk yield. The importance of dry matter is up most if we want to increase the protien or fat percentage. But in Indian conditions where fodder is limited and during monsoon season the moisture content of fodder is high, most of the animals are deprived of dry matter intake. This results is low yield of all the major components of the milk.
Excellent article emphasized the importance of nutrition, association with milk yield componends and profit. We hope if author may extend the study to include the impact on dairy products, thanks to author.
