Also the training imparted during these sessions increases the exposure of awareness to new messages, arises interest in the respondents, increase their knowledge, experience to new solutions and clarification as they interact with specilists and other experienced farmers.

Feed and feeding is the foundation of dairy production. It impacts almost every sector of the dairy production – from animal reproduction, health and welfare – to environment, animal product safety and quality. Feed cost accounts for up to 70% the total cost of production, and economic viability and sustainability of dairy production hinges on feed and feeding.
Through these sessions we aware dairy farmers about :
-Principles of dairy nutrition and feeding management as cows move through their annual lactation cycle
-Quantification of the likely milk responses to changes in intakes of feed nutrients so that a ration can be formulated to achieve a targeted milk yield
-A talk on trouble shooting feeding problems
-Specific aspects of dairy production technology such as rearing young stock and feeding for improved fertility
