Salt is a vital nutrient in every cow’s diet. Just like humans, cows require salt (sodium and chloride) to maintain healthy bodily functions. Without it, their performance, milk production, and overall health can decline.
Ensure the cow is in a clean, dry, and quiet space with enough room to lie down and move. This reduces stress and prevents infections for both the cow and the calf.
Starting a dairy farming venture in Kenya can be a profitable business, but like any agricultural investment, it requires careful planning and capital. The cost depends on factors such as scale, location, and the type of setup
Choosing the right beef breed is one of the most important steps when starting or growing your beef cattle farm. Your choice affects meat quality, growth rates, market value, and even how well your animals handle your farm’s environment.
In dairy farming, feed is everything. It’s the fuel behind milk production, animal health, fertility, and even farm profitability.
In dairy farming, animal health equals milk productivity. One of the most overlooked pillars of maintaining herd health is a proper deworming routine.
Crossbreeding is the mating of two animals from different breeds. The goal is to combine the strengths of each breed, such as better milk yield, disease resistance, meat quality, or adaptability to climate, into a new animal that carries the best traits of all.
Feeding a calf properly from birth lays the foundation for a productive, healthy dairy cow. The right nutrition at every stage ensures high milk yield, early maturity, and reduced health risks such as delayed or silent heat.
Udder edema is a common condition in dairy cows, particularly around the time of calving. It is characterized by abnormal swelling of the udder and lower abdomen due to the accumulation of fluids in the tissues.
In veterinary practice, especially in ruminant health management, recognizing the visual signs of abdominal distension is crucial. Two common conditions that present with abdominal bloating in cattle are Tympany (bloat) and Vagal Indigestion
