Cow Rearing Guide

Farm Questions
1

In quest to know how dairy farms are run in more developed nations I signed up at a Dairy Forum of USA. A co member there guided me to the below website.

milkproduction.com/Library/S … roduction/

I suggest every aspirant dairyman to go through all the chapters of this guide. You’ll be amazed by the details given therein. It is not the regular stuff that you’ll find on all the websites. Its more like summary of years of experience.

This guide is directly related to high yielding HF cows and similar but the principles can be applied to our local cows as well as HF & J Crosses.

I’d say make it a sticky so that it doesn’t get lost in pile of other threads.

Thanks Prasham, for your post and the online guide. It is an excellent beginners guide for all potential dairy farmers.

Keep it up!

Cheers,

John

  1. Please understand that you can chill milk up to 4 degree C and not below that. You cannot freeze milk as it can create many issues.
  2. Chilled milk taste won’t change.
  3. Chill the milk to 4 degree C and transport it in insulated tankers. Better to be equipped for slight chilling in the tanker itself in case the temperature rises above 4 degree C.
  4. The present cost for a 1000 litre BMC may be nearly 3-4 lakhs.
  5. The most cost efficient way of storing milk will be in a Bulk Milk Cooler Direct Expansion type with digital temperature indicators. The cooler shuts off automatically when it reaches 4 degree and starts on its own when the temperature rises.
  6. May be below Rs.35000/-
  7. Liquid form only in insulated & refrigerated trucks , to avoid loss of temperature.
  8. You can keep the milk 1 day if the milk is not disturbed and temperature maintained in insulated Bulk Milk Coolers with Digital Temperature indicators with auto on/off set up.
