Milk & Lactation (Main Milk Data)

Enter daily yield + fat %. Total milk is calculated automatically.

Total Milk / Day

Feeding

Record roughage + concentrate. System estimates DMI (rough estimate) and suggests water.

Estimated DMI (kg/day)
—
Suggested Water (L/day)
—
Water rule-of-thumb (reference): lactating cattle often need about 4–6 litres of water per kg of dry matter intake.

Reproduction

Service date → auto expected calving date (cow ~283 days, buffalo ~310 days default).

Important: This page records dates and helps planning. For breeding/AI decisions, always follow your veterinarian’s guidance.

Health & Vaccination (Record Keeping)

Record vaccination history, deworming, disease history, and vet-prescribed medicines (no dosage suggestions here).

Safety note: This tool is for data collection. Do not self-medicate animals—record the veterinarian’s prescription here.

Environment (Temperature / Humidity / THI)

Enter shed temperature + humidity → THI is calculated and shows heat-stress risk.

THI Status
—
Suggestion
—
Hint: Heat-stress risk often increases around THI ~68–72 and above.

Farm Summary (End section you requested)

Collect farm-level information at the end: milking method, housing, water source, fodder source, etc.

Reference Hints (Quick Guide)
These are general references. Always follow your veterinarian and local programme rules.

Peak milk timing planning

  • Cows commonly peak around 40–60 days after calving; first-lactation cows may peak later (about 70–100 days in some systems).
  • Buffalo: highest yield often around 5–6 weeks of lactation.

Gestation (for due-date) dates

  • Cow: commonly around 283 days (range varies by breed).
  • Buffalo: often about 305–315 days (river type); many field guides use ~310 days.

Milk fat % (typical) quality

  • Cow milk fat is often about 3–4% (varies by breed/diet).
  • Buffalo milk is often around ~7% fat on average.

Heat stress (THI) environment

  • Heat-stress risk often rises around THI 68–72+.
  • Record shade / fan / sprinkler / wallowing (buffalo).

Vaccination schedule (record) India (NDDB)

  • FMD: from 4 months+, booster after 1 month, then every 6 months.
  • HS & BQ: from 6 months+ (often annual in endemic areas).
  • Brucellosis: female calves 4–8 months (once).
