Boost Milk Production: Expert Tips for Pregnant Cows and Buffaloes
- •Stop milking pregnant animals two months before calving for a 'dry period' to rest the udder and support calf growth.
- •Gradually reduce milking from the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy.
- •Continuous milking weakens the udder, reduces future milk production, and increases the risk of milk fever.
- •Provide a balanced diet during pregnancy, especially in the last two to three months for rapid calf growth.
- •In the last three weeks, reduce fodder and increase concentrate feed by 100 grams daily, while carefully managing calcium and mineral intake.
Why It Matters: Implementing a dry period and proper nutrition for pregnant animals significantly boosts future milk production and calf health.
