    According to The Paraguayan newspaper El País, Aprole President Hugo Kheler pointed out that with good feeding and a comfortable environment for the cows, the average daily milk production per cow should reach 25 liters
    .
    At present, however, the average daily milk production per cow in Paraguay is 12 to 14 litres, which is far below the ideal level
    .
    In addition, in first world countries, the average daily milk production per cow has reached about 40 liters
    .
     
    Köller explains that most dairy farmers in the eastern and western parts of the country feed their cows with grass, and grain is also one
    of the main feeds for dairy cows.
    However, this year's dry weather has greatly affected the production of
    dairy feed.
     
    In view of the above, the milk producers decided to increase investment in the search to increase milk production
    .
    In this regard, Koehler said that producers must use investment to provide a more comfortable environment for cows and improve their feed
    .
    In the case of a shortage of feed caused by water shortage in the eastern and western parts of the country, producers should learn lessons and learn to adopt preventive mechanisms to avoid feed shortages
    .
    It is recommended to use "silage" feed, which is made from plant-based feed with a lot of moisture after being sealed and fermented, which is more resistant to storage than fresh feed and has a stronger nutrient content than dry feed
    .
     
    According to Aprole, Paraguay's per capita consumption of milk per year is 130 litres, but according to recommendations, it should be increased to 150 litres
