Hence, in order to have a healthy well-being of animals it is necessary to provide them with proper nutrition.

Your dairy animals are in dire need of the quintessential nutrition that match up with their performance energy. Or maybe aids them in improvising their performance. Dairy animals require energy for maintenance, growth, and milk production which can be summed up with a rich amount of energy, protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.

2. Forage-Based Diet:
Digestion in ruminant animals like cows requires a forage-based diet. What is a forage-based diet? A forage-based diet is a feeding strategy wherein the major form of consumption is through grass or grass-based products. This helps meet the animal's nutritional requirements in a more natural and holistic manner, reducing the risk of nutrient deficiencies or imbalances. High-quality forages harvested at the right stage of maturity ensure optimal nutrition.

5. Feeding Management is an art!!!
