How to Increase Dairy Cow Milk Production? Master the Methods to Boost Economic Returns

    Nowadays, raising dairy cows has become an effective way for many farming households, especially those in peri-urban areas, to make a fortune. Every household raises dairy cows, yet incomes differ. It is exactly this principle that those in the same trade may earn different profits. How can you tap into the potential of the dairy cows themselves and their feeding and management so as to obtain higher economic returns under the same feeding conditions?

1Feeding Honey and Bee Pollen Method

    Adding an appropriate amount of honey and bee pollen to dairy cow feed can increase milk production by more than 10% compared with dairy cows not fed honey and bee pollen.

2Feeding Potassium Iodide Method

    Mix 5 mg of potassium iodide and 30 g of sodium sulfate with concentrated feed and feed it once every 2 days, which can increase milk production by about 10%.

3Feeding Fermented Corn Stalks Method

    Feeding dairy cows with fermented corn stalks can significantly improve palatability, make them easier for dairy cows to digest and absorb, and increase milk production by about 10%.

4Brushing and Combing the Cow's Body Method

    Brushing and combing the cow's body every day with a wooden comb or iron brush can not only keep the cow's body clean and hygienic, but also increase blood circulation in the cow's body, promote metabolism, and increase milk production by 5%.

5Increasing Light Exposure Method

    During the first 60 days of lactation, or in winter, letting cows receive 16 hours of light per day can increase milk production by 10% compared with natural light conditions.
