NDDB provides reformulation support to cattle feed plants

Apex dairy body National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) on Thursday said it has started providing 'reformulation support' to cattle feed plants amid non-availability of key raw materialsfor the same in the wake of COVID-19 lockdown.

Compound cattle feed is a crucial input for milk production and the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the cattle feed production into a crisis, it observed.

According to NDDB Chairman Dilip Rath, "Many cattle feed plants are facing problems of irregular supply of feed raw materials and packing ingredients. Reduced inter-state movement of trucks as well as labour shortages have also been reported."
