Ration Balancing Programme
Ration Balancing Programme (RBP) is an advisory programme, to educate the farmers on optimum feeding of animals to optimize milk production by efficient utilization of locally available feed resources at the possible least cost.
Ration Balancing
Ration balancing is the process to balance the level of various nutrients of an animal, from the available feed resources, to meet its nutrient requirements for growth, body maintenance, pregnancy and milk production.
Imbalanced ration leads to
- Shorter lactation length and increased inter calving period
- More metabolic diseases such as milk fever and ketosis
- Slow growth of young animals delaying the age of first calving
- Low productivity and shorter duration of productive life.
- Low milk production, poor growth and reproduction
- More methane production per kg of milk yield.
- More milk production cost
