Economic management of post-partum period to optimize profits in pure holstein friesian cows

Reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle is of utmost importance in a profitable dairy farming. Early maturity, high fertility, short dry period/short service period and early post-partum conception are the factors of great economic values in dairy industry. In the present study 24 Holstein Friesian cows were selected. In these cows, antibiotic treatment and hormonal and herbal supplementations were given post-partum. Out of these, 6 cows were in control (Gr-I, without any treatment) group and 18 cows were under three treatment groups (Gr-II, Gr-III and Gr-IV). The average milk production of control and treatment group's animals was twelve liters per day. Total maintenance cost was calculated up to service period in both control and treatment groups and finally economics is calculated.
