TEIFA Farm in Serere District has resorted to playing music as a method of inducing milk production from its Friesian cows.
The music is intended to soothe the cows into a state of serenity, helping them release milk from their udders.
Joseph Ijala, the proprietor of TEIFA Farm copied the music idea from other established farmers across the country.
With 12 lactating cows on the farm, Ijala is able to produce 340 liters of milk each day.
His best cow produces 37 liters while others produce between 25 and 35 liters every day.
According to Ijala, whenever his cows hear the music play, they release the milk in large quantities.
He has connected speakers to all the sheds sheltering the cows on the farm.
During milking hours, the farm operator turns on the music and all the cows run to their milking positions with their udders dripping milk.
