Precautions
Procedure of Use "After delivery, milch animals are unable to produce milk for many days. Along with this, animal also consumes less fodder. This results in financial damage to the farmer. To increase milk production in animal, use foxtail millet (Seteria italica), which are pounded and mixed with the cattle feed. The mixture is then feed to the affected animal for 10 days. This cattle feed increases 60 per cent milk production in the animal. It is a traditional practice learnt from forefathers."
