Takeaways

• 😀 Proper housing for dairy cows is essential for their comfort and milk production. The barn should be clean, sturdy, and spacious.
• 😀 Ensuring cows are not stressed is key to high milk yields. A comfortable environment increases milk production.
• 😀 Choose healthy dairy cattle with smooth skin, clear eyes, and no defects to ensure good milk production.
• 😀 Water is crucial for dairy cows, as they need 4-5 liters of water to produce 1 liter of milk. Provide unlimited clean water.
• 😀 A balanced diet is essential for dairy cows. Their feed should include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
• 😀 Dairy cows require both roughage (e.g., grass, straw) and concentrated feed (e.g., grains) to meet their nutritional needs.
• 😀 Cows need about 30-50 kg of roughage per day. Concentrated feed should make up 1-2% of their body weight.
• 😀 The breeding cycle for dairy cows is short. Signs of estrus include decreased appetite, restlessness, and a red vulva.
• 😀 Dairy cows begin lactating after giving birth. They can be milked for about 10 months after each calving.
• 😀 Milking should be done twice a day, with clean equipment and proper hygiene to avoid contamination and maintain milk quality.

Q & A

What is the main purpose of dairy cattle farming in Indonesia?

The main purpose of dairy cattle farming in Indonesia is to produce milk. Given that milk is a key product, it's important to ensure proper sanitation of both the cattle and the cattle housing to maintain high productivity.

What type of climate does Indonesia have, and how does it affect dairy farming?

Indonesia has a tropical climate, which is quite different from the subtropical regions where most dairy cattle are commonly found. This presents challenges for dairy farming, but with the right techniques, it's still possible to succeed.

What are the key factors in setting up a proper dairy cattle barn?

A dairy cattle barn needs to prioritize cleanliness and comfort for the cows. The barn should be made from strong materials like metal, wood, or bamboo, and the floor should be clean and safe. The barn must also have proper drainage systems for waste and clean water access for the cattle.

Why is cow comfort important in dairy farming?

Comfort is crucial for dairy cows because stress can negatively affect their milk production. The more comfortable the cow, the better the milk yield. A well-maintained barn helps reduce stress levels.

How much space is needed for dairy cows in a barn?

A dairy cow barn should have a height of about 4.5 meters to ensure proper ventilation and comfort for the cows.

What are the criteria for selecting healthy dairy cattle?

When selecting dairy cattle, the cows should be healthy, have no visible defects, and their skin should be smooth and free of parasites. Their eyes should be clear, not watery, indicating good health.

How much water does a dairy cow need to produce milk?

A dairy cow needs approximately 4 to 5 kilograms of water to produce 1 kilogram of milk. Therefore, clean and abundant drinking water must always be available for the cows.

What types of feed are important for dairy cows?

Dairy cows require both roughage (such as grass, rice straw, corn stalks, and sugarcane) and concentrate feed (like grains, tubers, and agricultural byproducts). A balanced diet ensures the cows produce enough milk.

How should the feeding schedule be managed for dairy cows?

Green feed should be provided during the day, especially after milking, while concentrate feed is best given in the morning before milking or in the evening. Lactating cows should have an additional 25% of their food intake to meet increased energy needs.

What are the signs of a cow being in estrus, and how is this important for breeding?

Signs of a cow in estrus include reduced appetite, restlessness, frequent mooing, approaching bulls, mounting other cows, and having a red, swollen vulva with clear discharge. Recognizing these signs is vital for breeding management, as cows have a short estrus period, typically lasting 15-18 hours.

How often should dairy cows be milked, and what should be considered during milking?

Dairy cows should be milked twice a day. It’s important to maintain cleanliness in the barn and with the milking equipment. The cow’s udder should be washed with warm water to minimize bacterial contamination, and the milker should also ensure cleanliness to avoid tainting the milk with undesirable smells.
