LFP 221: Livestock Farm Practice (0+1)

INTRODUCTION

• In no other business is so little attention paid to record keeping as in the business of milk production.
• To have a clear picture of what the farmer is doing, he must keep records.
• It indicates the farmer the amount of milk each cow produces during the year as well as the amount of feed each cow consumes. From these records the farmer can find out whether he is making a profit or running a loss on each individual cow in the herd.
