

Fodder @ 10% of body weight ~ 40-60 kg
Ration ~ Half of milk production
More ration during summer season
Water should be available all the time
Mineral mixture @ 2% in the ration

12. Silage

Silage is a method of
preservation of fresh
fodder by which high
moisture fodder can be
stored for longer period
without any
deterioration.
