How Jaskarn Singh improved milk quality and animal health on his dairy farm
For Jaskarn Singh, dairy farming is a family tradition. At Sukhmani Dairy Farm in Punjab, India, he manages 40 animals, with around 30 in milk at any time, supplying fresh milk directly to consumers nearby. A few years ago, animal health issues and complaints about milk quality began to affect both his confidence and his income. In 2021, he started working with De Heus to improve nutrition and farm management. Since then, the farm has made clear progress, with healthier animals, better milk quality and more satisfied customers.
Dairy farmer
Sukhmani Dairy Farm is a family-run business where Jaskarn Singh is closely involved in daily work, from feeding the animals to selling milk directly to consumers. Because of this direct connection, milk quality is essential: when quality drops, customer trust is affected immediately.
Facing health issues and falling milk quality
Before working with De Heus, the farm faced recurring mastitis, repeat breeding and inconsistent lactation performance. Medicine and supplement costs were rising, while milk quality became a serious concern. Customers complained about an unpleasant odour, and some stopped buying altogether. Looking for a long-term solution, Jaskarn Singh introduced De Heus nutrition solutions in 2021.
Turning advice into daily farm practice
“I am proud that my customers are happy with my milk again, and at the same time my animals are healthy. That gives me real satisfaction and confidence to move forward.”
