Animal Husbandry advisory (Source: Pashupalak calendar (SEPTEMBER), the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India) o A good monsoon leads to flooding in animal sheds and the occurrence of moisture-borne diseases, hence, make adequate arrangements for water drainage and keeping the sheds dry. o As much as possible, keep the animals in dry and high (raised platform) places. o Ensure that fodder storage areas are kept dry. o Due care should be taken to keep grazing pastures clean. The floor and walls of sheds should be cleaned and coated with lime solution. o Protect the animals from the rise and fall of temperatures. o To protect the in-milk animals from contracting Milk Fever, follow the directions given in the month of July. o Protect the animals from parasites. Lambs should be vaccinated against Enterotoxemia. o Cows should be mated within 12 – 18 hours of their coming on heat. o A lot of green fodder is available at this time, hence, to protect animals from problems associated with excess grazing, restrict the time that they spend in pastures. Mix essential salts in the feed of the animals. o Prepare silage from the abundantly available green fodder. Also green fodder can be mixed with dry grasses and fed to the animals. o Cutting of sown perennial grasses should be done regularly. The field should be treated with required fertilisers, manure and compost, from time to time. o Sowing of Berseem (Trifolium alexandrinum) and Alfalfa should start in the last week of this month. o Sheep should be sheared during this month.
