Nourishing Lives: The TMR Feeding Initiative at Hingonia

A deep dive into the Total Mixed Ration (TMR) feeding system and how it’s improving cattle health at the Goshala.

Nutrition is fundamental to the health of cows, especially those recovering from illness or trauma. Hingonia Goshala introduced a TMR (Total Mixed Ration) feeding system under CSR support, which blends dry fodder, green fodder, and concentrates into a balanced feed. This ensures uniform nutrition and minimizes wastage. In this blog, we explain how TMR works, the benefits in terms of disease resistance, milk yield (where applicable), and overall well-being. Further, we present before-and-after case studies of animals that improved under TMR. The blog also discusses logistical challenges—procurement, storage, mixing—and how the Goshala is tackling them for scalability.
