For dairy farmers, one of the most important goals is maximizing milk yield without compromising the health of their cattle. While genetics and farm management play a role, nutrition is the foundation for producing healthy, high-yielding cows. In this blog, we’ll explore 5 practical nutrition-based tips that can help improve milk output — and how choosing the right cattle feed makes all the difference.
1. Prioritize High-Quality Protein
Protein is essential for milk production, especially in lactating cows. A feed with balanced protein content (around 20–22%) helps in muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and increased milk synthesis.
✅ Try This: Adheshwar XL, with 22% protein, is ideal for cows producing 10–20 litres of milk per day.
2. Don’t Ignore Fat Content
Fat in the feed provides the energy cattle need for better metabolic performance. It also improves the creaminess and richness of the milk. Look for feeds with 3–4% fat for optimal energy levels.
✅ Try This: Adheshwar Gold contains 3% fat – perfect for mid-yielding cows.
3. Add Essential Minerals & Vitamins
Micronutrients like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamins A, D, and E play a crucial role in fertility, bone health, and immunity. A deficiency can lead to health issues and reduced yield.
✅ Tip: Choose a fortified feed that includes essential minerals and vitamins to support overall cattle wellness.
4. Ensure Consistent Feed Intake
Regular feeding with the right quantity and at fixed intervals helps maintain digestive balance and energy levels. Cows thrive on consistency, so never skip or delay feedings.
🕒 Pro Tip: Stick to a feeding schedule 2–3 times a day with adequate water intake.
5. Choose the Right Feed for Your Cow’s Yield Level
Not all cows need the same feed. A high-yielding cow needs more energy and protein compared to a dry or non-lactating cow. Choosing a feed based on your cow’s milk output ensures optimal nutrition without waste.
