Advancing milk production through improved nutrition and better management

When the SS™ technology is used to treat saline/sodic and/or sodic irrigation water, it produces large quantities of high quality crops. When these crops are fed to dairy cows they increase the quantity and quality of milk produced.  The modern dairy cow is a well-engineered, fine-tuned production unit for converting water, fodder, grains, and minerals into milk.  Good genetics, complete nutrition, a friendly environment, proper hygiene, and good management are necessary for maximum milk production from a dairy cow.  One of the fundamental principles for high quality milk production is that a cow must consume the right mix of high quality feed inputs to be able to generate high quality milk.  Hence, the ability of the SS™ technology to generate high quality feed inputs is the cornerstone for developing a dairy farm producing high quality milk in an area dependent on saline/sodic and/or sodic water.

Effective dairy management systems are essential for achieving and sustaining superior levels of high quality milk production. The care and treatment of dairy animals has long been proven to have an impact on their ability to produce milk. For example, a cow’s comfort, such as the temperature, the availability of water, and the bedding it sleeps on can impact milk production. The knowledge, understanding, and use of effective dairy management systems and techniques - appropriate for the size of the dairy operation - are all essential keys to the production of high quality and an increased quantity of milk.
