Ask the Vet: Common Cow‑Health Questions Answered

Insights from Our Veterinary Team at Krushna Doodh

At Krushna Doodh, we believe healthy cows produce the highest-quality milk. Behind our commitment to purity is a dedicated veterinary team that works closely with our farmers to ensure every cow is cared for with compassion and science.

In this edition of “Ask the Vet,” we sat down with our in-house experts to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about cow health, comfort, and productivity.

Q1: What is Mastitis and How Can It Be Prevented?

Dr. Leena Jadhav, Veterinary Officer, Krushna Doodh:

Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder, usually caused by bacterial infection. It leads to swelling, reduced milk quality, and pain for the cow.

Prevention Tips:

• Clean and dry udders before and after milking

• Sanitize equipment thoroughly

• Provide clean, dry bedding

• Regular vet check-ups and early detection

“We monitor every cow closely and run monthly health audits to catch early signs. Prevention is always better than cure.”

Q2: How Do You Ensure Cows Get the Right Nutrition?

Dr. Ajay Shinde, Nutrition Specialist:

Cow health starts with the feed. At Krushna Doodh, we provide a balanced diet made up of green fodder, dry hay, grains, and mineral mixtures.

Best Practices We Follow:

• Regular feed composition analysis

• Rotation between seasonal fodders to keep digestion strong

• Custom diet planning for milking, pregnant, and aging cows

• Always ensuring access to clean drinking water

“A well-fed cow not only gives more milk—it gives healthier milk.”

Q3: How Do You Keep Cows Comfortable, Especially in Summer?

Dr. Sneha Patil, Animal Welfare Expert:

Cows are sensitive to heat and stress, which can reduce milk yield. That’s why we focus on cow comfort throughout the year.

Comfort Measures at Krushna Doodh Farms:

• Well-ventilated sheds with fans and mist sprayers

• Cooling pads during peak summer

• Soft bedding changed regularly

• Space to move freely—no confined or chained stalls

“Cow comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s essential for quality milk and animal well-being.”

Q4: What’s Your Vaccination and Health Monitoring Protocol?

Dr. Mahesh Pawar, Chief Veterinarian:

We follow a strict vaccination and deworming schedule for every animal. All cows are tagged and their health history is digitally tracked.

Our Tech-Enabled Health System Includes:

• Digital health logs via mobile apps

• Automated vaccine reminders

• Monthly health check-ups for preventive care

• Deworming every 3–4 months

“Our use of veterinary tech ensures cows stay healthy—and milk stays safe.”

Healthy Cows = Happy Milk

Every measure we take at Krushna Doodh—from expert-led nutrition planning to digital health monitoring—is rooted in one goal: delivering safe, wholesome, and pure milk to your family.

And it all begins with the well-being of our cows.
