Features: Dairy farming is a highly efficient and grain-saving type of animal husbandry. Milk is the with the highest feed conversion rate. The efficiency with which dairy cows convert feed energy into edible product energy is the highest among all livestock and poultry, and their protein conversion efficiency is second only to that of broilers. The daily diet of dairy cows includes large amounts of silage corn, dried forage, by-product feed, and succulent feed. Dairy cows can convert these roughage feeds that monogastric animals like pigs and poultry cannot utilize well into protein. They can also convert non-protein nitrogen into protein. The high feed conversion rate is unmatched by other livestock and poultry. Milk is renowned as "human's best friend," containing rich amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, and more. It is easily digested and utilized by the human body, making it an irreplaceable nutritional delicacy.
The "Comprehensive Dairy Farming Technique Guide" mainly consists of 10 parts: dairy breeds, dairy exterior appraisal techniques, dairy breeding techniques, dairy feed and nutrition, dairy intensive farming techniques, standardized dairy management, dairy barn construction and milk production facilities, dairy hygiene, disease prevention, and common disease control, as well as milk quality and safety monitoring, and clean milk production technology. This book is written in an easy-to-understand manner with abundant illustrations, aiming to achieve the goal of "learning to apply, applying to see results." It strives to become a valuable assistant for dairy farm technicians, a teaching material for dairy farming households and specialized villages to improve their technical skills, and a reference book for vocational and technical training.
