daily, and it just rations based on milk production and body conditions or nutritional
deficiency and quality in every feeding plan.

7) What record keeping practices do you follow for milk production and Animal
Health?

I maintain records using digital tools and herd management software for milk
production. I track daily yield per Cow Milking times and quality metrics for health. I
record Veterinary treatments vaccinations reproductive history illness reports and
having details,. I log feet consumption and breeding schedules too. These records
helptect problems early and comply with industry audits. Breeding and nutrition
regularly updated records keep the farm organized improve traceability and ensure I

treat any issues reproductive management accurate heat detection and timely
breeding improve her performance. I also track individual milk yields to identify top
producers.

11) How How do you handle breeding and reproductive management ?

I observe behavioral signs of estrus and use tools like tail paint or activity monitors. I
work with veterinarians for Reproductive exams synchronization protocols and
pregnancy checks. I also track each cow's breeding history and having interval artificial
insemination is preferred for genetic Improvement and biosecurity but I've also worked
with natural service where appropriate proper nutrition and cow condition are key
Immediate Care efficient breeding management helps maintain milk production and
hurt health over the long term.

12) What challenges have you faced in Dairy farming? And how did you overcome
them challenges include disease outbreaks fluctuating milk prices and labor
shortages?

I've implemented strict biosecurity and early detection protocols minimizing losses
when prices dropped I adjusted feed rations tolabor issues were addressed by cross
training staff and improving workflows with automation problems quickly and being
open to new Solutions. Challenge is a learning opportunity. That's made me a more
effective and resourceful Farm manager who can adapt and Thrive.

13) How do you manage waste and manure in an environmentally friendly way?
 I manage way through regular collection storage and responsible disposal or reuse. I use
