| Feeding management is crucial in maintaining high milk production in high-producing dairy animals, particularly during the transition period, which is three weeks prior to and three weeks after calving. Nutrition during this time is critical for the health, production, and profitability of the dairy herd. In developed countries, nutrition and management of dairy cows during the transition period have received considerable attention in recent years, while in developing countries like India, it has received relatively less attention.
Although some dairy farmers have adopted technologies, such as protected fat and protein alone or in combination, to manage the transition period, many are still unaware of the benefits of these practices. This book delves into the use of these technologies and their impact on early lactation performance and post-partum reproduction. The importance of energy nutrients as a means to regain a positive energy balance after calving and the role of protein in supporting milk yield and post-partum reproduction are also discussed in detail. It is important to note that the information in this book is based on experimental results and technologies that have been practiced by some dairy farmers, but it may not be applicable to all dairy farming systems. It is recommended that farmers consult with a veterinarian or a nutritionist to determine the best feeding management practices for their specific herd and region. |
