Feeding animals is an important factor affecting their health, nutrition and quality of milk, so it is important to pay special attention to the preparation and feeding of animals.
In recent years, Chui region farmers have been paying special attention to silage production.
Farmers from Jumgal and Ton districts visited the farms of farmers Tilek and Atayev Akai during the exchange of experience and saw in practice how to thresh corn and press it into silage. Mr. Japarkulov Kalmurat, the head of the "Pedestrian Animal Husbandry" Association of Tilek and Akai, told how his students have achieved these successes, how he has been giving advice and support in difficulties, and noted that he is proud of his students' success. He gave advice to the participants and answered their questions.
