Where did milk production originate?
In the present time, the animals are living in different altitudes and latitudes which is the major reason they have to stay in all sorts of weather conditions. In milk production, animals like goats, cows, sheep, and buffaloes are used, even during the present time. It is also important that they are kept in the right environment so that all the possible conditions are taken care of completely. Having the most sophisticated production system is the major key factor of doing the work in the right order and satisfying the increasing demand of the customers.

What about the milking frequency?
Considering the labor patterns and working hours, the requirement of milking is needed 2 times a day. It is also seen that the practice of milking has been increased more than ever, specifically in the areas with high-yielding herds. Even the process of milking being increased to 3 times will boost milk production.
Although, it has been noted that milking is an important part of making animal welfare much better. Moreover, the high-yielding cows prefer milking at least 2 to 3 times, when they are given that choice.
Taking proper care of milk quality and animal health
Cows productivity is boosted to a great extent when there are around 3 lactations. With high yield the quality of milk gets better than ever and they don’t even suffer from any disease. One of the common concerns is mastitis and if the farmer has proper knowledge it is much easier for them to detect the same.
Cow comfort is an important concern
Ideally, when the animal is in the right state, the milk quality gets better than ever and it even increases their comfort to produce milk in more amounts. Here are the 5 factors which are imperative to include when we talk about the cow’s comfort:
-
The cows should not face any sort of discomfort
-
The cows should not suffer from any pain, disease, and injury
-
The cows should not have any kind of distress and fear
-
The cows should get the food and water on time
All in all, managing their health to ensure they get all sorts of right things is important for the dairy farmer to have the maximum milk production.
