Thank you.I feed the minerals in three ways. 1.mixing 200gms with concentrates. 2.Feeding adlib.i have a plastic container that i pour the minerals and they feed at their own. 3.I hang a mineral block and they lick on their own.
The cost of production by then was 21/= kenya shillings and i was selling 50/= kenya shillings per litre.But this changes with market prices and also climate due to fodder security e.t.c
Magadi Livestock Salt is naturally harvested and dried.It contains no other chemicals Complete with sodium chloride and elements of sodium bicarbonate, Magadi Livestock Salt improves the palatability of livestock feed. The presence of sodium bicarbonate renders the salt alkaline, which effectively counteracts the acidity of silage and other cereal brand concentrates.
after milking.If you milk two times feed 2 times if three,feed 3 times so that the ow can get time to lay down and chew cud.Mostly cows make milk when lying down or standing hewing cud.Thank you for watching

so many factor to consider. 1.At what stage are you cutting and feeding the napier? 2.Are you letting the Napier wilt before feeding or are u feeding direct from farm? 3.Are you adding/mixing napier with other fodder?
@@bagnansoumaila Désolé si vous ne comprenez pas l'anglais. Ce que je dis, c'est que je nourris ma vache avec des protéines, des fibres, des concentrés, des sels minéraux et de l'eau fraîche et propre.
There people using maize stock and peoducing more than you .just like you said that is what you feed your cow respect what others are doing . The difference between mafefe and your silage is 1 tin of daily meal .
Thank you for watching.Sorry i have not disrespected any farmer in any way.I have just shown what i feed my cow.I am not in competition with no one.I am content and happy with what my cow produces.However,full corn and maize stalks silage are very different.The thing is,just do what works for your cows.
I think you're the one with the problem of not understanding,let me teach you,,,,,,,When Mr fred said about maize silage it means animal acquires energy.When he said about minerals salts it's all about calcium.when he mentioned dairy meals it's all about protein,,,,& all that is what we call balanced diet that required in animal unless & otherwise you tell us about that science concept of yours.
Dairy farming needs more of practical doing than scientific discoveries. Let's say in ratio of 70 % farm practical and 30% scientific application. We see alot in our farms that is not covered in books
True. When a cow is giving birth for example scientific concepts are useless. You be numble, patient, get down to earth and act like a fool and your cow is safe.
Very informative.

Good job ,a question how do you feed the minerals ,like do you mix it in the feeds or do you dilute it in water? Or mix it with dairy meal?
Thank you.I feed the minerals in three ways.
1.mixing 200gms with concentrates.
2.Feeding adlib.i have a plastic container that i pour the minerals and they feed at their own.
3.I hang a mineral block and they lick on their own.
Always at point keep going bro..

Nice job sir, do you use hay ?
Yes but currently i have run out of hay.But dont mistake hay for rice straws.Just use rhode hay cut at the right time.
@@FredDairyFarm Got it thanks
how much is the cost of production of the 24l of milk per day and how much do you sell per L?
The cost of production by then was 21/= kenya shillings and i was selling 50/= kenya shillings per litre.But this changes with market prices and also climate due to fodder security e.t.c
Magadi and Twigalick are both minerals. Economically is it sensible to use both when Twigalick can suffice all minerals?

Asking about the magadi,is it the common salt or the other magadi that i know of,kindly share
magadi looks like red oxide...the one that was traditionally used.
Kindly avail me with the third item and the fourth please. I mean the content
1. Maize Silage
2. Mineral salt
3 ?
4 ?
Thanks lives in Nigeria
Do u normally mix everything together
Yes i do to make a total mixed ration
How offen should you feed your cow
after milking.If you milk two times feed 2 times if three,feed 3 times so that the ow can get time to lay down and chew cud.Mostly cows make milk when lying down or standing hewing cud.Thank you for watching
Is magadi sodium chloride? That red salt i see in dukas
brown cattle salt
What is Magadi? What does it contaims? How is ot prepared?

Thanks Fred. Very informative. How do you fed the Magadi salt and in what quantities?
You are welcome.Thanks for watching.I just scoop a handful of magadi daily and mix with concentrates
What is the benefit of magadi in cow
Thanks for teachingbut the voice ic abit down
Thanks for watching.Sorry about the sound i will do better in coming videos
@@FredDairyFarm 👍
How can one reach out to you?
Thanks for watching.Whatsapp me on +254793754966
Good job you doing keep sharing . whats the measure of magadi per day
100gms per day. or you can mix handful of magadi with fodder.Thank you for watching i appreciate your support
Thank you
@@wilsonmunene4417 welcome
Very good content sir. You mean you only feed on silage hakuna hay and you hit 24litres a day?
Glad to hear that.I add nappier grass.I don't feed hay.
What is the cost fed of minerals per day
Mineral salt 200gms per day
Hello Fred,my question is,do you feed your cow only silage without greens?
Hello..Silage is the main one.I do feed wilted super napier in the evening or Rhodes hay if its available
per cow
YES
Can you calculate the amount of feeds per day as compared to milk production.. in short.. what's your profit margin per day
Yes i can.Actually let me make a video on that and i will upload it
Good work. How can we call you
Call me Fred.You can reach me on whatsapp +254793754966
How many kg of silage and hay each should a milking cow feed on per day.
10% of its body weight
Permaculture to save the world
okay
Nice to have 24L of milk. What is the feed cost to produce 1L of milk
By that time it was 23 bob per litre but now its 18 bob per ltr
Why is my cow diarrhea when it eats naiper grass🙄🙄
so many factor to consider.
1.At what stage are you cutting and feeding the napier?
2.Are you letting the Napier wilt before feeding or are u feeding direct from farm?
3.Are you adding/mixing napier with other fodder?
Explain the science behind this it just like marketing stories
I made a video on how i feed my cow ...this is not about marketing.Cows are different,focus on what feed makes your cow to produce more
Svp je vous prie de noter la formule alimentaire des vaches laitières en commentaire car je ne comprends pas l'anglais
@@bagnansoumaila Désolé si vous ne comprenez pas l'anglais. Ce que je dis, c'est que je nourris ma vache avec des protéines, des fibres, des concentrés, des sels minéraux et de l'eau fraîche et propre.
@@FredDairyFarm merci beaucoup
@@FredDairyFarm , svp, quel protéines, quel fibre , et quel consentré? Et en quel quantité
There people using maize stock and peoducing more than you .just like you said that is what you feed your cow respect what others are doing .
The difference between mafefe and your silage is 1 tin of daily meal .

Good work,, use kiswahili at times.
point noted.Thanks for watching
24liters a day it's very little i need to increase to 30liters per day.
Okay .Aim higher.Its doable
But it's his cow
@paulkiriru8598 he speaketh as though the cow is his😂
I don't get scientific concepts this are just stories
Its okay.Not all people are meant to get.It was just a simple video.

Then go watch scientists buddy,you’re in the wrong platform to search for scientific explanations. This is simply Farming!!!
