At Moo & More Dairy Farm, we run a zero-grazing system, so we closely monitor a few key things to keep our farm productive and profitable. One, focus on how much milk each cow produces and ensure the milk is of good quality. Two, make sure our cows are well fed so they can efficiently convert feed into milk. Three,reproduction is important to us, so we ensure our cows conceive on time, and we take good care of calves to keep mortality low. Four,raise enough heifers to replace older cows and maintain our herd. Five, keep an eye on our costs, including feed, labor, veterinary care, energy, and water, to ensure we are operating efficiently. Six, our cows' health is a top priority, and since we practice zero grazing, Seven, we carefully manage our fodder and feeding system. Eight, we maintain our equipment, reduce milk losses, and manage transport costs. Nine,Our workers are important to us, so we support and train them regularly. Ten, track milk prices, sell to different markets to reduce risk, and adopt simple technologies to improve our work. Most importantly, we ensure our customers are satisfied with the quality of our milk. All these help us run a successful and sustainable dairy farm.

Dairy cow nutrition follows the lactation cycle, which includes the transition period, early lactation, peak production, mid to late lactation, and the dry period. The transition period (two weeks before and two to three weeks after calving) is critical for future production and fertility, requiring careful control of energy and mineral intake and gradual feed changes.
In early lactation, nutrient requirements rise quickly while dry matter intake increases slowly, leading to body condition (BC) loss and an increased risk of metabolic problems, so energy balance must be well managed. Peak milk production occurs around 50–60 days in milk, and higher peak yields increase total lactation output, but excessive BC loss (more than 1 point) reduces fertility.
After the first two to three months, cows should regain body condition before service and maintain a target BC of 3.5–4 before drying off. The dry period (45–70 days) allows udder and rumen recovery, requires controlled energy intake with high-fibre diets, and proper mineral balance to prepare the cow for the next lactation cycle.
