The comprehensive training covered a wide range of critical topics designed to optimize animal nutrition. Farmers learned about the natural fermentation of straws, the preparation of urea molasses mineral blocks, and how to formulate balanced rations for their dairy animals. The program also provided vital instruction on essential practices such as bypass fat preparation and mineral mixture formulation, which are key to improving milk quality and yield.

In addition to feed preparation, the training addressed crucial aspects of farm management and food safety. Participants were taught best practices for silage making, ensuring safe and effective feed storage, and implementing strategies for the control of aflatoxin contamination. These skills are essential for protecting both animal health and the integrity of the entire dairy supply chain.

The program’s focus extended beyond technical skills to the broader economic potential of dairy farming. RS Grewal, the director of extension education, encouraged farmers to adopt a mindset that views their operations as a scalable agribusiness model. He emphasized that these advancements in nutritional technology are a pathway to achieving sustainable income and generating rural employment.
