In economic development, Mr. Luyen has invested in raising dairy cows. Borrowing more than 200 million VND from the bank, he invested in raising 10 dairy cows. Currently, there are 5 cows in the barn that are giving milk, giving an average of more than 80 liters of milk per day; with a price of 12,000 VND/liter, after deducting expenses, he still earns nearly 1 million VND in profit.

“The first days of raising dairy cows were difficult because I had no experience and techniques, but I gradually learned and got used to it. The important thing is to ensure the cows' nutrition, regularly clean and vaccinate them properly... To raise dairy cows effectively, the barn must be airy, clean, and have a waste treatment facility to reduce environmental pollution; buy breeding cows from reputable farms, especially the breed must be adapted to local climate conditions and always have enough food for the cows" - Mr. Luyen shared.

To ensure input costs and milk quality, in addition to fresh grass, he also feeds the cows with mixed feed such as corn, rice bran and other by-products. On average, each dairy cow eats 10kg of mixed feed and 20kg of fresh grass per day.
