From the traditional feeding practices, like hay, and grass, it was observed that animals do not get all the required nutrition for efficient milk production, body maintenance, and better reproduction. Cattle feed products are thoroughly hygienic and safe for domestic animals and cattle to gain balanced nutrition in an appropriate amount.
Cattle feed is produced by a balanced source of essential nutrients required for body maintenance, growth, and milk production.
Presently, in India, there are two types of cattle feeds manufactured for adult animals. Considering the rise in milk yield, regional variation in feed availability, and farmer preferences, it is essential to produce varieties of cattle feed.
Cattle feed is a good source of nutrients for growing adult and milk-producing pregnant animals. With regular use of compound cattle feed in prescribed quantity along with a balanced diet, the cost of milk production from dairy animals can be optimized and net profitability can be increased.
