Dairy farmers who depend on milk as their primary source of income constantly look for ways to improve the milk-yielding capacity of their animals. While some rely on traditional home practices, others use medicines or injections without proper guidance. Although such methods may temporarily increase milk output, they often cause long-term harm, particularly to the animal’s reproductive health, sometimes even leading to infertility.
Reproductive Health: The Key to Sustainable Dairy Profit
For maximum profitability, a dairy animal should ideally give birth to one calf every year. Unfortunately, reproductive disorders frequently prevent this goal from being achieved. Poor reproductive performance directly affects the productivity and longevity of dairy animals, making proper management essential for livestock farmers. Apart from reproductive issues, dairy animals often suffer from problems such as difficulty in milk let-down, reduced milk fat percentage, stress-related decline in milk yield, underdeveloped udders, recurring mastitis, calcium and phosphorus deficiencies, and weakened bones and muscles.
Understanding Mastitis: A Major Udder Disease
Mastitis is a bacterial infection of the udder that significantly reduces milk production and deteriorates milk quality. The disease is more common when animals are kept in unhygienic housing conditions or when proper cleanliness is not maintained during milking. When mastitis occurs, the udder becomes swollen, painful, and hard. Milk production from the affected quarter decreases, and the milk may taste abnormal. In severe cases, blood or pus may be present in the milk, which can even appear watery. The infection enters through the teat canal, making udder hygiene extremely important.
Root Causes of Low Milk Productivity
Low milk productivity in cattle is mainly caused by a combination of genetic, nutritional, health, and management factors. Poor genetic potential is a major root cause, as many cattle are bred without selection for high milk yield, resulting in inherently low-producing animals. Inadequate and imbalanced nutrition also plays a critical role; insufficient energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins limit milk synthesis and reduce overall animal performance. Health-related issues such as parasitic infestations, mastitis, reproductive disorders, and chronic diseases further suppress milk yield by diverting nutrients away from production and increasing physiological stress. Poor management practices, including improper housing, lack of clean drinking water, inadequate milking techniques, and insufficient veterinary care, contribute to stress and increased disease incidence, lowering productivity.
