Govardhini Feed: A Path to Healthier Cattle and a Greener Planet
Beyond Profit: How Sustainable Farming Practices Drive Both Business and Climate Action I just came across a fascinating story from a farmer named Subramani in Annahalli village. His experience with a new cattle feed brand, Govardhini, highlights a critical intersection of profitability and sustainability. By switching to this non-toxic feed, he not only saw a significant increase in his milk fat content and overall yield but also contributed to a global cause. The healthier cattle, thanks to the feed's probiotics, produce less methane, directly impacting climate change. This story is a powerful reminder that innovative, eco-friendly solutions can be a win-win for both business and the planet.

Govardhini Feed: A Path to Healthier Cattle and a Greener Planet
Subramani, a progressive dairy farmer from Annahalli village, shares his remarkable experience after switching to Govardhini cattle feed. He highlights a common struggle for many farmers—the high cost of traditional feed and the disappointing results. Previously, he was spending around ₹4,000 every 15 days on a combination of orange husks, oil cakes, and dairy feed. Despite this significant expense, his cow's milk fat content remained stubbornly low, at a mere 2.8%, which is far below the ideal.
Subramani was introduced to Govardhini by the BGS FPO, who assured him of its benefits and provided him with detailed instructions on how to use it. He decided to give it a try. Initially, he was concerned when his cow experienced loose stools for a couple of days. However, upon consultation, he learned that this was a natural and positive sign. The probiotics in the Govardhini feed were working to cleanse the cow's stomach of any impurities.
Just a few days later, the results became evident. The cow's milk production increased by a noticeable 3 liters per day—1.5 liters in the morning and 1.5 liters in the evening. Even more surprisingly, the milk fat content, which had consistently been at 2.8%, jumped to an impressive 3.9%. This was a source of great joy for Subramani, as he had tried everything to improve the fat content without success.
Beyond the milk, other aspects of the cow's health improved dramatically. The manure, which was previously sticky and thin, became non-sticky and odorless, resembling the manure of native cattle. The urine also became clearer. The cow's appetite and water consumption improved significantly, indicating a general boost in health and well-being.
A Toxic-Free Solution for Global Climate Action
Govardhini is a completely toxic-free cattle feed that goes beyond simply improving milk production. By promoting superior gut health in cattle, it has a direct and positive impact on a pressing global issue: climate change. Healthy cattle with well-functioning digestive systems produce significantly less methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas. By using this feed, farmers are not only improving the health and profitability of their own herds but also actively contributing to climate action.
Subramani's experience is a testament to the benefits of Govardhini. It offers a way for farmers to reduce costs while increasing profits, all while ensuring the well-being of their livestock and contributing to a healthier planet. He highly recommends that other farmers consider using Govardhini, calling it an excellent and comprehensive animal feed.
