Summary of Innovation:	I take special care of the animals and have developed processes leading to increase in milk production: 1) Milch animals are given at least half the weight of milk that they are producing as feed twice a day. Also, a maximum of one kg should be given as extra cattle feed during the day. 2)The animals are fed both dry and fresh grass. 3) They are given water to drink at least four times a day during the summer and twice during winter.I have developed a a mecahnism for continous flow of resh water to animals automatically. 4) Animals are given special treatment at the time of disease. I use some herbal preparations for treatment of ailments. 5) Method of use:I have developed a special technique for providing drinking water to the cattle. Using this facility fresh water is available 24 hours a day in the cowshed. The technique is very simple and based on the ball and cock principle.
