Main approaches of the model are;
• Ensuring year round feeding by 1 Ac cultivation of CO3 and maintain 100 number of bushes of 40 paddocks demarcating with gliricidea as a protein source.
• Promote minimum 0.5 AC sorghum or maize cultivation
• Ensure irrigation facilities for fodder cultivation
• Introduce and maintain azolla ponds (3’ width x 10’ length x 1’ depth). Azolla is a protein source and can be fed per cow per day up to 4 Kg and reduce concentrate feed up to 50%.
• Promote silage making as supplementary feed for later pregnant and early lactating cows to increase the daily milk production.
• Ensure 24 hours continuous supply of drinking water.
• Separate the newly born calves after 6-12 hours from the mother cow and feeding separately. (calf management for better offspring)
• Maintain the herd to get a calf every year (herd management)
• Keeping the herd 70% cows in milk for better productivity
• Maintain herd improvement/proper breeding plans
• Introduce proper waste management model. (encourage compost making as addition income source)
• Mechanization of the dairy farm providing milking machines and grass choppers
• Encourage irrigation facilities for CO3 / sorghum/ maize cultivation.
• Convert their cow sheds to lose barn model with local materials to make sure the animal welfare contributes to increment of daily milk production
