If you raise Desi cows — Punganur, Gir, Sahiwal, Ongole, or any indigenous breed — what they eat directly influences the quality of their milk, their health, and their longevity. Commercial feeds designed for high-yield crossbreeds are often poorly suited to native Indian cattle, whose digestive systems and nutritional needs differ significantly.
GoneFarmers' Gokulam cattle feed range is formulated specifically with the needs of Desi cows in mind — using natural ingredients like polished rice bran, wheat bran, black moong bran, and mineral-rich supplements to support milk production, bone strength, and overall vitality without synthetic additives or harmful fillers.
The Gokulam Product Range
The Gokulam range includes three core products, each designed for a specific nutritional role in your cattle's daily diet:
- Gokulam Cattle Feed (Pashuvula Dana) — the primary daily feed, available in 50 kg bags
- Gokulam All Mixer — a pre-blended feed mix for balanced nutrition across multiple ingredient sources
- GOCAL-5G Liquid Calcium Supplement — a 5-litre liquid mineral and vitamin supplement to support milk production and bone health
All products are manufactured by GK Gokulam Food and Feeds Private Limited, Kothbommali, Srikakulam District, Andhra Pradesh — and marketed under the GoneFarmers' Gokulam brand.
What Goes Into Gokulam Cattle Feed?
The quality of cattle feed is determined by its ingredients. Gokulam feed is built on traditional, naturally derived bran ingredients used in Indian cattle rearing for generations — now formulated with precise ratios for optimal nutrition.
1. Polished Rice Bran
Rice bran, the outer layer removed during rice polishing, is one of the most energy-dense by-products of rice milling. It is rich in:
- Crude fat (12–18%) — a concentrated energy source for high-producing cows
- Crude protein (12–14%) — supports muscle maintenance and milk protein synthesis
- Vitamin B complex — particularly thiamine and niacin for metabolic health
- Gamma-oryzanol — a natural antioxidant unique to rice bran
2. Wheat Bran
Wheat bran, the fibrous outer layer of the wheat grain, is a staple in traditional Indian cattle feeding:
- High dietary fibre (40–45%) — supports healthy rumen function and digestion
- Moderate protein (14–16%) — complements rice bran's protein profile
- Phosphorus-rich — supports bone density and reproductive health
- Highly palatable and easily digestible — well accepted by Desi breeds
3. Black Moong Bran (Urad/Moong Husk)
Black moong bran — the husk and outer layer of black moong — is a protein-rich ingredient that sets Gokulam feed apart from generic commercial feeds:
- Crude protein: 20–25% — one of the highest protein concentrations of any bran ingredient
- Rich in lysine and methionine — essential amino acids for milk quality and growth
- High in B vitamins — particularly folate and riboflavin
- Contains oligosaccharides — supports beneficial rumen bacteria and gut health
Gokulam All Mixer: Balanced Blended Feed
The Gokulam All Mixer is a pre-blended combination feed that brings together multiple bran and grain ingredients in a single, convenient 50 kg bag — ideal for farmers who want a complete multi-ingredient diet without the effort of sourcing and mixing individual components. Simply feed as directed and let the blend do the work.
GOCAL-5G: Liquid Calcium & Mineral Supplement
GOCAL-5G is a liquid feed supplement containing calcium, phosphorus, vitamins A, D3, E, B12, and Ayurvedic herbs (Jivanti, Shatavari, Kalongi, Jatamansi) — formulated to support milk production, bone strength in growing animals, and overall metabolic health. Available in Jaggery and Honey flavours for easy acceptance.
It is an animal feed supplement, not a veterinary medicine. For health concerns, consult a qualified veterinarian.
