Production Ration for Buffalo and Cross-bred Cow
View Complete Answer & Explanation
Question (English)
The production ration for buffalo and cross-bred cow is:
- 1 Kg concentrate per 3 kg milk
- 1 Kg concentrate per 2.5 kg milk
- 2 Kg concentrate per 3 kg milk
- 1 Kg concentrate per 2 kg milk ✓ Correct
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1 Kg concentrate per 2 kg milk
Buffalo and crossbred cows have higher production levels, requiring more concentrate: 1 kg concentrate per 2 kg milk.
Why Different from Zebu?
Buffalo and crossbred cows produce richer milk at higher volumes. Zebu can utilise roughage more efficiently. TDN needed = 0.32 Kg per litre milk — higher-producing animals need proportionally more concentrate to meet this demand.
