Important Information

• Lactating animals should have access to fresh feed 24 hours a day.
• Lactating animals should have access to clean and drinkable water 24 hours a day.
• Lactating animals need to consume dry matter equal to 3-4% of their live weight daily. (This may vary depending on climate, housing conditions, milk production, etc.)
• To maintain healthy rumen activity, lactating animals should consume good quality dry forage (such as alfalfa hay, dry oat hay, barley straw, etc.) equal to 1% of their live weight daily.
• In free-stall housing systems, lactating animals require 1 m² of dry lying area per 100 kg of body weight, and a walking area twice that size.
• Lactating animals require at least 80 cm of feeding space per animal. If a lock-up system is used on the farm, leaving 10% of it empty is beneficial to allow shy animals easier access to feed.
• We should avoid making changes greater than 3% in the dry matter content of the daily ration or in any of the nutrients that make up the ration’s dry matter.
• We should house and feed lactating animals separately based on criteria such as production level, number of milking days, and lactation number.
• Milking procedures should be managed meticulously for lactating animals.
• Periodic care and preventive treatments for lactating animals should be conducted within the framework of a protocol.
