App for dairy farmers launched

National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) on Tuesday launched a mobile application that will recommend a balanced diet for cows and buffaloes to help boost dairy farmers’ income by raising milk yield and cutting feed cost.

The mobile application, named ‘Pashu <g data-gr-id="15">Poshan</g>’, was launched by the Union Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh.  The application, which will be available on both web and android platforms, can be accessed by registering on the INAPH portal (http://inaph.Nddb.Coop).

“This application will benefit dairy farmers across the country. They will get information about balanced ration for their cows and buffaloes through this application,” Singh said, adding that the use of this application will boost milk output and income of dairy farmers.

“This resulted in reducing the feed cost by Rs 5-15 per day per animal and an average increase in milk production by an average 300 ml per animal per day. Now, we will provide this facility across the country through this mobile app,” NDDB Chairman T Nanda Kumar told reporters.
