For any dairy farmer who wants to achieve a maximum out of his animal in milk production, the comfort ability of the animal should be considered.
comfortability of the animals can be divided into two;
- Feed comfort ability
- Resting comfort ability
However much you want your animal to produce a great amount of milk by feeding it well on concentrated and good feeds, and yet you neglect its ability to comfort, you will automatically get a fail
from this , we can come up with formula
Animal production = feeding + good health +comfort ability
Less of any above will cause a loss or a fail
