Dr. Parminder Singh, Associate Director (Training), KVK S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) addressed the trainees to rear their animal on scientific lines. For scientific dairy farming at house level, it is necessary to overcome the nutritional deficiencies such as energy, protein, minerals and vital vitamins in dairy animals by incorporating nutrients in feed. Due to leaching, soil is deficient in minerals and the produce (fodder, forage and grains) of field resulted in minerals deficiency. Such nutrients deficient feed and fodder affects the production performance of dairy animals and also humans. It is advised to all dairy farmers to adopt balanced ration for dairy animals which maximize the profit from per unit animal. He also briefed trainees regarding various facilities provided by K.V.K and GADVASU, Ludhiana for the farmers.
