WELFARE-FIRST PHILOSOPHY

Compassionate Care for Superior Dairy.

Healthy, happy buffaloes produce richer, purer milk. Discover our comprehensive veterinary protocols, thermal housing, and biological animal welfare standards.

24/7 MEDICAL SUPERVISION

Dedicated Resident Veterinary Team

Unlike traditional dairy operations that call a vet only when an animal falls gravely ill, DodhWala maintains an on-site, full-time veterinary clinic.

Every morning begins with biometric health assessments, evaluating rumination cadence, mucosal health, rectal temperatures, and locomotion scoring. Any subtle deviation is caught and treated proactively before clinical symptoms manifest.

Zero Routine Antibiotics & Zero rBST Policy We never administer prophylactic antibiotics or synthetic hormones to boost milk yield. If an animal requires therapeutic antibiotics for illness, their milk is strictly isolated and discarded until complete metabolic clearance.

LIVING ENVIRONMENT

Spacious Stalls & Thermal Protection

Comfort is measured in rumination hours. A comfortable buffalo ruminates 8 to 10 hours daily, optimizing rumen fermentation and milk synthesis.

Deep River-Sand Beds: Inert, organic sand stays cool, cushions the knees, and does not harbor bacteria, preventing mastitis and leg injuries.
Automated Mist & Wind Velocity: Industrial HVLS ceiling fans coupled with high-pressure 20-micron aerosol foggers lower perceived temperatures by 6°C to 8°C during peak Indian summer.
Wide Open Loafing Paddocks: Animals enjoy daily outdoor roaming in open sand corrals with natural tree shade and social herd interaction.

THE DODHWALA CHARTER

The Six Animal Welfare Pillars

Our daily care regimen is built upon the internationally recognized Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare, expanded for Indian agro-climatic realities.

1. Continuous Hydration

Stainless steel self-filling float bowls provide 24/7 access to chilled RO-filtered water tested daily for total dissolved solids (TDS).

2. Balanced Nutrition

Computer-formulated Total Mixed Rations (TMR) combining green fodder, silage, bypass fat, chelated minerals, and yeast probiotics.

3. Thermal Comfort

Microclimate sensor networks trigger cooling mist and high-volume ventilation fans whenever ambient temperatures cross 27°C.

4. Digital Health Telemetry

Passive RFID tags track rumination minutes, resting behavior, and estrus onset with automated real-time alert notifications.

5. Preventive Biosecurity

Strict vaccination schedules against FMD, HS, and BQ, combined with quarterly hoof trimming, deworming, and quarantine wards.

6. Gentle Handling

Zero use of sticks, electric prods, or physical force. Handlers are trained in low-stress livestock behavior and herd movement.
