Q. How does Milkon cattle feed help improve milk production?
Milkon feed is formulated with balanced levels of protein, energy, fiber, vitamins, and minerals based on ruminant nutrition science. Proper nutrition helps optimize rumen fermentation, improves digestibility, and enhances nutrient absorption, resulting in higher milk yield and improved milk quality.
Q. What are the benefits of Milkon’s pellet feed products like Nutri Lite, Nutri Grow, Nutri Pro, and Natural Eco Feed?
- Nutri Lite: For maintenance and small dairy farms; supports basic milk yield.
- Nutri Grow: Balanced feed for growth, lactation, and reproductive health. For cows and buffalos having milk yield 14 litres and above.
- Nutri Pro: High-density feed for high-yielding animals; ideal for commercial dairies.
- Natural Eco Feed: Uses herbal and natural additives; eco-friendly and gut-protective.
- Cost effective feed: Each feed is designed with specific protein-to-energy ratios, buffering agents, and micronutrient profiles to support different production goals.
Q. What is the difference between mash feed and pellet feed?
- Mash Feed is a finely ground, loose mixture. It’s economical and easy to digest for small to medium-scale dairy farms.
- Pellet Feed is processed into uniform, dense pellets. It improves feed intake, reduces wastage, and enhances nutrient stability. Milkon offers both options based on animal type, season, and farm scale.
Q. Why is milk fat and SNF important, and how does Milkon help maintain it?
Milk fat and SNF (Solids-Not-Fat) are key indicators of milk quality and pricing. Deficiencies in fiber, protein, or energy can reduce these values. Milkon feed provides adequate bypass protein, digestible fiber, and essential fatty acids, helping maintain consistent fat and SNF levels, especially in high-yielding cows.
Q. Can Milkon feed be mixed with green fodder or silage?
Yes, Milkon feeds are designed to complement green fodder, dry fodder, and silage in a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) system.
For best results:
- Maintain a 60:40 forage-to-concentrate ratio
- Ensure fodder is clean and free of mold or spoilage
- Avoid overfeeding concentrates without proper fiber
Q. Can Milkon feed help with reproductive issues like delayed heat or poor conception?
Yes, poor nutrition can cause hormonal imbalances and infertility.
Milkon feeds contain:
- Bypass protein to support ovarian function.
- Chelated minerals like zinc, copper, selenium for fertility.
- Vitamin A, D3, E and organic chromium to boost immunity and reproduction.
- We also recommend routine mineral mixture and deworming alongside quality feed.
Q. My cow is not eating enough feed. What could be the reason?
Loss of appetite can result from:
- Imbalanced ration (low palatability or poor fiber)
- Acidosis due to excess grain or poor-quality silage
- Heat stress or underlying illness
- Milkon feed includes digestive enhancers, salt-balancing agents, and heat tolerance boosters. If the issue persists, consult a veterinarian or Milkon’s field nutritionist.
