KARNAL/ CHANDIGARH: Dense fog was observed at many places in Punjab and Haryana early on Wednesday even as cold conditions persisted in both the states. As severe cold accompanied by winds tightened its grip over the northern plains, dairy farmers in Karnal are anxious over the fall in milk productivity.
Amid the weather conditions, experts said that less exposure to sunlight during daytime has added to their woes as the cattle are also getting sick. Sahil Sharma, an Ambala-based dairy farmer, said that there is a decline in overall milk production in his cattle yard of 100 and he had to decline new orders to hotels. However, Tushar Chaudhary from Karnal said that proper diet and covered yard in the winters has helped him overcome losses due to low production in the last few years.
Experts at the ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) said that during extreme winter conditions (5-10°C), farmers should monitor weather forecasts closely and move their dairy animals into sheltered areas accordingly.
