Farmers who produce milk and sell it pay more attention to collecting fodder and straw for cattle. But very few care if the milch animals get water when they want it. Even though it is known that if you feed green grass, milk production will increase, they only give sawdust and straw.

There is no land and they have not been able to plant grass. If the grass is well watered, the milk production will increase. It is the experience of leading farmers that the cost will also decrease.

Farmer Kishore of Ratnanagar has 45 cows in herd. The herd, which sells up to 400 liters of milk a day, is fed plenty of green grass instead of straw. He has planted grass to feed the cows in a four bigha field. He has experience that even if he cultivates grass by renting land, it is cheaper than buying straw.

He said that cows that eat greens also give more milk. Three years ago, the grass did not grow due to a very dry winter. "After feeding straw for 21 days, the milk dropped from 150 liters to 70," Bagale said. Farmer Krishna Prasad Chapagai of Bharatpur Metropolitan City-13 Champanagar said that he was planting grass in the paddy field.

Out of almost one bigha field, he has planted super napier type grass in 6 fields . If those raising cows and buffaloes can arrange water and grass well, the expenses will be reduced . But our attention is more on straw and expensive grain, bran,'' said Kishore Bagale, who is also the chairman of Chitwan District Milk Producer Cooperative. He has provided not only green grass but also water for the cows to drink immediately if they are thirsty.

There is a small basket-like object under the cement manger that holds the cow's feed . In which the water pipe is connected . A thirsty cow puts its mouth on the road and water automatically comes out. If the mouth is closed, the water stops . This means that cows can drink water whenever they want, the herdsmen said. He says that it will be more beneficial if the farmer keeps it like this than watering two or three times a day.

If you pay attention to the feeding and care of cattle, the milk will be of high quality and more produced. We know these things. Even though organizations and ward vetnery have taught many times, they do not try to put it into practice . But if we want to produce quality milk at a low cost, many things need to be changed," said Bhagirath Timilsina, the leading farmer of Bharatpur-6 Keshar Bagh.

The problem of not selling the milk produced by the farmers, not getting the price, it is difficult to get money even by selling it at a low price. "This is a current problem, but as much money as we have received, more money can be used to pay the loan of grain and bran. After that, for whom have we raised cattle ? Can't we remove the obligation to depend on grain bran?,' Timilsina said .

The Chitwan District Milk Producers Cooperative Organization has started training the leading farmers of the district's milk producer cooperatives about how the small improvements made by farmers play a role in milk production and milk quality. The District Dairy Cooperative has started providing training in collaboration with Hefer International, an international non-governmental organization working for animal development. In the

training, 25 veterinarians have reached different cooperatives and started training farmers on small to serious issues related to the effectiveness of milk production. Veterinarians who train our baboons in the traditional way have said that there is a scientific basis.

'Even in our village house, we used to give grass and water to the cows after they were first milked. It also has Aadhaar . It would have been especially helpful to prevent the infection of the infected," Dr. Veterinarian Dr. Security Kattel said . For 10/15 minutes after milking, the mouth of the milk duct remains open. 

Dr. Kattel said that if the condition of the sheds is not good during the open period, there is a risk of infection and other problems starting. He said that even such small issues related to animal care will help the farmers a lot.

'We will keep the leading farmers and veterinarians for two days and inform them about these issues. There is a plan to train five thousand farmers in a period of 14 months, said Chairman Bagale. Bagale said that there is a plan to increase quality milk production by adopting appropriate methods, techniques and good practices of milk production by farmers.
