💡 ICAR-NDRI Practical Management Tips

✓Chop green fodder (1.5–2 cm) and mix thoroughly with dry straw (Bhoosa/Kadbi) to stimulate rumination.
✓Divide concentrate pellets into 2 or 3 equal morning/evening feedings rather than feeding all at once.
✓Always add 15g chelated mineral mixture daily to prevent silent estrus and retain 300-day lactation.
✓Ensure uninterrupted access to 8 Liters of clean, cool drinking water.
