This video explains how to reduce the loss of milk production in grazing cows.
Several factors influence the milk production of cows on the pasture, including:
Availability of fodder: Cows must have access to a sufficient quantity of high-quality fodder.
Time spent on pasture: The more time cows spend on the pasture, the more fodder they consume and produce milk.
Forage density: Dense pastures allow cows to consume more fodder in less time.
Forage height: Forages must be kept at an optimal height so that cows can easily consume them.
Room temperature: Cows produce less milk when it's too hot.
Access to water: Cows need constant access to clean water.
Concentrate supplementation: It may be necessary to supplement cows with concentrates, especially at the beginning of lactation or during periods of drought.
Pasture management: It is important to manage pastures well to avoid overgrazing and promote the regrowth of forages.
Conclusion
By following good management practices, it is possible to reduce the loss of milk production by grazing cows and to achieve profitable and sustainable milk production.
