Sanitizing

Waste like manure is recycled into organic fertilizer for crops while sand bedding is cleaned and reused water is also conserved used water from cooling systems and barn cleaning is filtered and repurposed

Feeding dairy cows is a careful process to ensure High milk production and good health. Mature dairy cows are usually fed two to three times a day with a well-balanced diet consisting of silage hay and Grains.

MILKING SYSTEM

Reproduction is also a key part of dairy farming. Farmers monitor cows for the best breeding time and use Advanced methods to ensure healthy pregnancies. Once a calf is born it receives special care including colostrum. Its first milk rich in nutrients and antibodies. Young Cals are kept in clean comfortable areas and fed a balanced diet to grow strong and healthy. Dairy cows are typically milked two to three times a day to ensure their comfort and maintain milk quality. If not milked regularly cows may experience discomfort or even health issues. Dairy farms use two main milking systems traditional parlor and rotary

Milking systems in traditional parlors cows stand in rows while milking machines are attached. Rotary milking systems automate the process letting cows be milked on a rotating platform Ideal for large Farms. They reduce labor boost efficiency and keep cows calm. Some even have feeding stations improving milk yield and comfort

After milking an iodine-based disinfectant is sprayed directly onto the cow's teets to kill bacteria and prevent infection. This helps protect against mastitis while keeping the skin soft and healthy.

Then each cow steps onto a scale to monitor its weight ensuring overall well-being all milking equipment is thoroughly rinsed and sanitized after each session to remove milk residues and free from bacteria.
