The collaboration between NLF and Agro-Eco is bearing its first fruits, with a new video on Calcium Deficiency in Dairy Cows. It presents numerous practical possibilities of how to prevent ‘milk fever’ in dairy cows under smallholder conditions, taking Indian dairy farmers as an example.
Milk fever is one of the common cattle diseases amongst high producing cross-bred dairy cows, and can easily lead to the death of the cow. Meanwhile, it is not common amongst local breed cattle. Therefore the knowledge from this video is especially crucial for those smallholder farmers who are starting to produce milk with crossbred dairy cattle.
