Summer Livestock Care: Dry Fodder Fatal, Green Fodder Alone Insufficient, Says Raebareli Vet
•Dry fodder is harmful for cows and buffaloes in summer, affecting their health and milk production.
•Dr. Indrajeet Verma, Veterinary Superintendent at Government Veterinary Hospital Shivgarh, Raebareli, recommends green fodder like jowar and berseem as a natural nutrition source.
•Green fodder provides protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, aiding healthy digestion, preventing water deficiency, and boosting milk production.
•A balanced diet is crucial, including green fodder, clean water, oil cake-bran, and mineral mixture, not just green fodder alone.
•Keep animals in shady places, provide water regularly, and maintain clean living spaces for improved health and increased farmer income.
