dc.description.abstractIn India, current milk pricing to the dairy farmers is based on Fat and SNF content of milk. Hence, to maximize the profit in dairy farming, more emphasis is given to increasing fat and protein content of milk. There are many factors that can affect milk composition which includes genetics, stage of lactation, level of milk production, age of cow, environment, season, disease and nutrition. Fifty-five percent of the variation in milk composition is due to heredity, while 45 percent is due to environmental factors such as feeding management and climatic conditions. Hence, nutrition stands as the primary means of manipulating milk constituents. Milk contains 87.7 % water and the solid components include fat, protein, lactose, minerals and vitamins. Among these fat and protein are most subjected to changes due to dietary manipulation. The other solid constituents of milk such as lactose, minerals and vitamins generally do not respond to dietary manipulation. Optimizing the rumen function is the key to maintain milk yield and its composition. Hence, feeding programs with adequate protein and energy, rapidly fermentable carbohydrate, effective fiber, fat and supplementation of feed additives are keys to increase milk composition.en_US
