How to improve quality of milk
To improve milk quality, focus on cow health and environment by providing balanced nutrition, fresh water, and a clean, dry, comfortable housing environment. Also, implement proper milking hygiene, including regular maintenance of equipment, thorough udder care, and gentle handling to prevent stress and infection. Regular health checks and a strategic mastitis prevention program are also crucial for maintaining a healthy herd and high milk quality.
Cow Health & Environment
Nutrition & Hydration: A balanced diet with proper energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals is essential. Ensure cows always have access to clean, fresh water, as it's crucial for milk production.
Housing: Maintain a clean, dry, and comfortable environment with adequate space, proper ventilation, and comfortable bedding. Regularly clean manure and top off bedding to prevent bacterial growth and stress.
Stress Reduction: Minimize stressors by moving cattle slowly, avoiding overstocking, and ensuring proper temperature control to reduce stress and maintain high milk quality.
Health Management : Prevent and treat diseases, particularly mastitis, by implementing a comprehensive prevention program. Regular hoof care is also important for overall health.
