(Baonghean.vn) - Although newly introduced to the locality in 2014, the industrial dairy farming model has truly opened up a new and effective business direction for farmers in Nghia Hoa (Thai Hoa town).
 |
| While in the past, Nghia Hoa people were only familiar with raising beef cattle, now many households in the area have boldly approached the method of raising dairy cows. Currently, the total herd of dairy cows in the whole commune is up to over 40. |
 |
| From traditional farming methods, people have quickly approached a completely new form of farming, with cows numbered and microchipped... |
 |
| Milking cows is done by machine, ensuring hygiene and safety for the cows. |
 |
| After milking, the milk is filtered and carefully stored in a container. It will be immediately purchased by Vinamilk factory to ensure freshness. |
 |
| According to the households, the average total milk yield per cow ranges from 20 to 22 kg per day. With the current milk price of 14,000 VND/kg, each cow yields approximately 200,000 VND in net profit per day. This is a fairly high source of income for a purely agricultural commune in the mountains like Nghia Hoa. |
 |
| To ensure food sources for dairy cows, farmers have proactively planted corn and elephant grass, with the area constantly expanding. |
 |
| After being picked, corn and grass will be washed, drained and ground to make it easier for cows to digest. |
 |
In addition to fresh food, farmers also have to supplement ground soybeans to increase the nutritional content of the cow's diet.  The farm of Mr. Tran Van Hai's family in Hamlet 3 is currently considered a bright spot among the households in Nghia Hoa Commune. From borrowing money from the bank to invest in a barn with an area of over 60 m2, raising 5 cows, up to now, it has developed to 4 more cows. According to Mr. Hai, the 5 cows currently give milk each month, his family also earns 25 million, after deducting expenses, each year earns 300 million.
