Reasons for Low Fat Milk
- Stage Of Lactation- Lower Fat% in Early Lactation & Higher Fat % in Mid & Late Lactation.
- Genetics – Varies with Breed of Cow ( HF Milk- 3 to 4.5%, Jersey Milk- 4 to 5.5%)
- Low Fodder Supply Especially Dry fodder like Ragi straw/Wheat Straw
- Diet Composition- Increased Grains in the feed (Maize, Barley, Wheat) or Low/High Quantity of Fat Supply.
- Sub-Clinical Mastitis in Cow/Buffaloe reduces the Milk Fat%
Corrective & Preventive Measures
- Advised to give at least 1-2 kg dry fodder per day, in the absence you can make use of gram husk or millet husk or soya hulls about 1-2 Kg per day, or you can store green fodder as hay for use in unavailable time.
- Give complete feed supplement like Dairy fortune which has minerals, vitamins, bypass fat & all other essential supplements. Start feeding daily 350gms /day.
- For subclinical mastitis start feeding Mastigo powder or Citron-m daily 50 gms per day for 10 days.
- It is advisable to mix HF cows with jersey cows for overall balance in fat percentage during sampling. Because jersey give more fat milk & Hf less comparatively.
