Ways to Increase Milk Production in Cows:

1. The role of drinking water in cow milk production:

One of the main purposes of raising cows is milk production. Milk contains more than 80% water. The remaining 12.5% is non-fat solids such as vitamins, minerals etc. The rest is fat. About four liters of water are required for a cow to produce one liter of milk. However, most of the time cows are not given enough water. For example, even if they feel thirsty at night, they cannot drink water. Observations show that when cows are given enough clean water, milk production increases by about 20 percent. Therefore, water should be kept in the water container 24 hours a day so that cows can drink water as needed.

2. The role of food in cow milk production:

The common belief is that giving cows more food will increase milk production. Adequate amounts of balanced nutritious food are essential for cows' physiological functions and milk production, but excess food is never good. Rather, it has the opposite effect. The chemical environment of the stomach for food digestion is alkaline. The more a cow chews cud, the more saliva will mix with the food, helping better digestion. If the cow doesn't get time to chew cud, the food won't be digested properly and she will get less nutrition. And with less nutrition, milk production will decrease. Therefore, cows should be given at least 8 hours of cud chewing time for proper digestion. Especially, no food should be given after evening.

3. The role of calcium in cow milk production:

Cows must be provided with necessary nutritional elements. Since each liter of milk contains about 1.2 grams of calcium, milk production requires large amounts of calcium. If calcium is not supplied through food, cows use calcium from their bones. This calcium deficiency in bones makes cows weak and sick. Milk production also decreases.
