A successful dairy feeding system is defined as one that delivers the needed nutrients to each cow at the correct time (stage of lactation) to maintain maximum milk production. No one system is correct for all dairy producers. The feeding system selected must consider the delivery of forages, grain, protein and minerals, either individually or in various combinations.
ral care and management of Heifer
Better Care and Management of heifer will give high quality replacement stock to the dairy farm.
Feed the heifer sufficiently to produce normal growth. During the early stage relatively more protein than energy is needed.
Most heifers grow well if excellent hay is given as much they can eat. The amount of growth depends upon the quality of forage fed.
The heifers should be provided with a dry shelter free from drafts. A loose housing system with a shelter open to one side is sufficient.
The size rather than the age of a dairy heifer at breeding time is important. Breeding under sized animals is never profitable.
Though the heifer that is bred to calve at an older age yields higher milk yield in the first lactation, the total milk produced by such a cow will be less when compared to the heifers that freshens at an early age. Usually the heifer is bred to freshen at 24-30 months of age.
Place the heifer in a separate shed about 6-8 weeks before calving time.
Feed 2 - 3 kgs of concentrate daily and adequate forage also.
Before calving let the heifer becomes accustomed to handling and to the procedures used in the milking herd.
Maintenance of health among heifers is very important for proper growth.
The health among the heifers is maintained by hygienic housing, water, balanced feeding and taking necessary preventive steps against common diseases.
Periodically the heifers in the herd should be checked for their proper growth and other progress.
Animals lagging behind below the required standards should be removed from the herd.
