Abstract/Description: | An on-farm study was carried-out with lactating crossbred cows, maintained under a smallholder mixed farming system to assess the response of urea molasses mineral block (UMMB) supplementation on milk yield and cost effectiveness during the dry season. Twenty crossbred cows in early to mid lactation were selected, 10 cows were given free access to UMMB in addition to their normal ration and the other 10 cows served as control group. Supplementation of UMMB licks significantly increased feed intake, milk yield and maintained live weight and body condition score of the cows. In the opinion of the participating farmers, supplementation of UMMB improved straw consumption, milk yield and general health of the animals with enhanced cash benefit of over Rs.10/ day/cow under smallholder mixed farming system. The UMMB supplementation technology was found a cost-effective approach to maximizing the utilization of locally available feed resources for better animal productivity during the dry season in a rain-fed agro-eco-system of India. |
