| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to document the existing management practices in crossbred dairy cows during transition period and to assess the effect of nutritional intervention in Transition cows. The existing management practices were recorded by means of personal interview using a structured schedule, with respondents selected using a multistage stratified sampling procedure. Most farmers rearing crossbred dairy cows reared high yielding crossbreds, unrecognised buffalo breeds, sheep, goat or poultry; thus revealing the suitability of crossbred dairy cows to their production system. The most common management practices were loose housing, artificial insemination, stall feeding, good care and feeding practices for calves, good health care practices and adequate milking techniques. Transition cow management was also better with respect to feeding. The results of a feeding mineral mixture for three weeks during transition period revealed that feeding mineral mixture can avoid post parturient complications. Efforts must be made to educate farmers regarding improved management practices like construction of proper feed mangers, scientific waste management and better management of crossbred cows during transition period. | en_US |
