It will not be possible to achieve higher productivity in a milch animal by merely increasing its genetic potential. There is evidence to show that when a milch animal is fed a balanced diet, it receives the required nutrients to produce milk commensurate with its genetic potential. Research and field trials indicates that this approach to feeding has the potential to increase milk yield, reduce cost of milk production, and contribute to reducing methane emissions.
“Pashu Poshan” an android based self-service application has also been developed through which farmer himself can formulate balanced ration for their dairy animals.
You can find the application named as 'Pashu Poshan' for RBP from http://inaph.nddb.coop link.
