Effects of Different Feeding Strategies on Productivity and Health of Dairy Cows

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The dairy industry plays a crucial role in providing essential dairy products to consumers worldwide. The productivity and health of dairy cows are fundamental factors that significantly impact the efficiency and sustainability of dairy farming operations. This study focuses on investigating the effects of different feeding strategies on the productivity and health of dairy cows to enhance overall herd performance and welfare.
