This invention discloses a method for feeding dairy cows to reduce
somatic cell counts in
raw milk, comprising: (1) preparing a
forage additive daily; (2) mixing the
forage additive with the afternoon basal diet to form a mixed diet; feeding dairy cows three times a day, in the
morning, at
noon and in the
evening, with a high-energy, low-
protein morning basal diet in the
morning, the afternoon basal diet at
noon, and the mixed diet in the
evening; for dairy cows with unqualified
somatic cell counts, increasing the proportion of the
forage additive in the mixed diet and adding a compound extract; (3) preparing low-temperature
plasma-activated water, applying the
plasma-activated water to the
udder of dairy cows with high
somatic cell counts in
raw milk after
milking, keeping it moist for a certain period of time, and then wiping it clean. The feeding and management method described in this invention can significantly reduce the
somatic cell count in
raw milk and improve the quality of dairy products.
