Become a billionaire from 4 dairy cows

(Baonghean.vn) - Thanks to the application of good technical advances, 22 dairy cows of Mr. Nguyen Hung Son's family in Hamlet 3, Nghia Hop Commune, Tan Ky District have achieved a high milk content rate. His family's dairy farm brings in an income of nearly 1 billion VND/year.

Mr. Son's dairy cows bring in 60 million VND/month in milk.

Understanding the market demand, in 2014, Mr. Nguyen Hung Son piloted raising dairy cows with high quality selected breeds. After a few months of care and raising, 4 cows were ready for milking.

Realizing the economic efficiency, he continued to invest in buying 4 more mother cows, mainly Australian, American and New Zealand dairy cows. Up to now, the herd has given birth to 14 more calves, bringing the total herd of cows in the family to 22.

The stable output of cow's milk has helped the family boldly invest in modern equipment for livestock farming such as milking machines, cowshed cooling systems, music systems to stimulate milk production, etc. Thanks to the application of good technical advances, the milk content ratio is high.

He said: "Out of 22 cows, 8 are in the milking period. On average, we milk 2 times a day, morning and afternoon, and can milk 25-30 kg of milk per cow. In some cases, we can milk up to 40-45 kg of milk per day. In the summer, due to the hot weather, the milk output is reduced. The milk output sold to the market each day is about 200 kg/day. With the selling price from 14,000 VND/kg of milk and all collected by Vinamilk, my family earns about 60-80 million VND per month."

Raising dairy cows has brought high economic efficiency to Mr. Nguyen Hung Son's family. After deducting expenses, his family still earns nearly 1 billion VND/year. Currently, he has the idea of ​​moving the barn to the field, expanding the scale of raising 50 dairy cows. At the same time, he is establishing a team specializing in collecting and treating waste to ensure the ecological environment in the raising area.

Not only is he good at family economics, Mr. Son is also a founding member of the new-style dairy farming cooperative in Nghia Hop commune. Currently, the cooperative has 11 members operating very effectively with a total of more than 150 dairy cows.
