Milk August 13th. 2007, 11:30amFollowing are excerpts from a New Indian Express report on it.
… Omfed has started supplying grass seed, seedlings and mini cuts to over two lakh dairy farmers.
The farmers would be required to grow grass in their lands and thereby reduce expenses incurred on feeding to a large extent. With quality grass included in the diet, milk production would not only increase but also be of superior quality.
The seed, seedlings and mini cuts would be supplied through 3,000 milk societies in the State.
