Transition Feed in Anantnag
The transition period - 60 days before to 21 days after calving - is the most critical phase in a dairy animal's life. Proper transition feeding prevents milk fever, ketosis, retained placenta and mastitis, and sets up the entire 300-day lactation for success.
Suitable Animals
Pregnant cows & buffaloes (last 60 days), freshly calved animals (first 21 days)
