Recommended feeding

  1. Provide approximately 2-3 kg daily for body maintenance.

  3. For a cow producing 30 litres, the production portion may be around 10-12 kg, in addition to maintenance needs.
  4. Divide the calculated total across multiple feedings.

Feeding and management guidance

  • Use only with adequate high-quality forage or silage and dry roughage.
  • Increase concentrate gradually and never make sudden ration changes.
  • Observe for signs of reduced cud chewing, loose dung or low appetite and seek professional advice when needed.
  • Keep clean water available at all times.

Frequently asked questions

Who should use MILKMATE 35?

It is intended for high-producing cows and buffaloes, particularly animals in the 25-35 litre range whose ration needs greater nutrient density.

Does it replace forage?

No. It is a concentrate and must form part of a balanced ration containing sufficient effective fibre.

Please note: Use the final pack label as the controlling product specification. Adjust the complete ration to the animal and seek professional advice for high-yielding, pregnant, newly calved or unwell animals.
