ICAR-NIANP FEED CHART

Feed chart is a guideline for feeding of dairy cattle and buffaloes By Rajendran

We are happy to introduce a web application for formulating ration for crossbred dairy cow and milch buffalo. Balanced ration is formulated based on level of milk production i.e., 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15 and 20 lit/day for a cow weighing 400 kg at different levels of availability of green fodder per day. Similarly for milch buffalo balanced ration is formulated based on level of milk production i.e., 3, 6, 9 and 12 lit/day and weighing 450 kg at different levels of availability of green fodder per day (High, moderate and low). This is a guideline for three feeding situation. High green ration for those farmer can provide 35 kg or even more green fodder per day per animal. The second one is moderate green option is for the farmer who can provide 15 kg to 20 kg of green fodder and third option is less green during scarcity period in which farmer can provide 2-5 kg of green fodder. This calculated for crossbred cattle and indian buffaloes.
