How to Improve Milk Yield of Dairy Cows

In winter, dairy cows are prone to decrease in activity and drinking water due to temperature, which leads to a decline in milk production, but farmers can raise them scientifically and strengthen management. in order to do a good job of these "six levels", the milk yield of dairy cows can be effectively increased. In addition, different feeding methods can be used to help cows increase milk yield.

1. Deworming in winter

In autumn and winter, the physique of dairy cows is poor. If the insect is not repelled, the cow fat is not good, and the milk yield decreases, causing great harm. The elimination of external worms in cattle in late autumn and early winter is beneficial to the fat keeping and safe overwintering of dairy cows.

2. Add additives

Adding additives to the diet of dairy cows has an obvious effect on milk production of dairy cows. Add phosphogypsum. Adding 71.5g to the diet of each cow could increase milk yield by 1.7%, milk fat rate by 10.5%, and feed consumption per kg of milk by 11.4%.

3. Improve the level of feed to replenish calories

If the cow lives in the cold and low temperature stress, the heat loss of the cow body is large, and the milk yield will decrease. Because the energy produced by rumen fermentation and other nutritional metabolism of dairy cows is used to maintain a constant body temperature, it increases the basal metabolism. Therefore, the cow metabolism is exuberant, the appetite increases greatly, the feed intake increases, the milk yield can increase obviously.

4. Artificially prolong the sunshine time

After the dairy cows are fed in the house in winter, the days are short and the nights are long, especially the sunlight seen in the house is less, which reduces the stimulation to the milk hormone of dairy cows, and the milk production performance of dairy cows will be affected to a certain extent. this is one of the important factors for less milk production in winter.

5. Try to increase the temperature.

Although cows are afraid of heat and cold, the temperature of the barn is too low, which is disadvantageous to both cows and milk production. The biggest problems are the increase of feed consumption, the weight loss of cows, the decrease of milk production and the decrease of income.

6. Drink and feed enough warm water

Water is a solvent for all kinds of nutrients in cattle. Blood circulation and body temperature regulation all depend on water. According to different seasons, adequate drinking water must be provided. Drinking hot water to the cow in winter, close to the cow's body temperature, the cow likes to drink, it can reduce the heat loss of the cow body, which is beneficial to the cow.

? Feeding method for increasing Milk yield of Dairy cows

1. Deworming and health care method

??? To get rid of your parasites after giving birth, cows can take 70 mg of tibendazole per kilogram of cow weight, which can generally increase milk production by about 10%.

2. Porridge feeding method

??? Porridge has good palatability, which can not only increase the feed intake of dairy cows, but also benefit the digestion and absorption of dairy cows, so as to greatly improve the effective utilization rate of feed. Dilute the concentrate with water, then pour it into boiling water and stir for 5 to 10 minutes to make a porridge. The feed-water ratio is 1: 10: 15 in winter and 1: 20: 30 in summer. The use of porridge method to feed dairy cows can generally increase the milk yield of dairy cows by more than 10%.

3. Feed baking soda

Baking soda can promote digestion and absorption of dairy cows, relieve stomach acid and neutralize feed acidity and alkalinity. If each cow is fed 100 grams of baking soda per day, it can generally increase milk yield by more than 10%.

4. Feeding green fodder

Green fodder is scarce in winter and spring, so if you feed an appropriate amount of silage and hay every day in winter and spring, it can generally increase the milk yield of dairy cows by about 10%.

5. Feed method

Formula feed has comprehensive nutrition and can meet the needs of dairy cows for various nutrient elements. Feeding formula feed can generally increase the milk yield of dairy cows by 20% and 30%.

6. Rapeseed cake feeding method

The detoxified rapeseed cake is added to the concentrate feed of dairy cows according to 20%, which can generally increase the milk yield of dairy cows by 10%.
