This article discusses the impact of diet adjustments on the milk productivity of newly calved cows. The results of research conducted on the basis of scientific and economic experiments are analyzed. The conclusion is made about the importance of introducing feed additives into the diet of newly calved cows to increase milk yield and maintain animal health. The influence of various factors, such as feed quality, composition and balance, on the lactation process is discussed. Particular attention is paid to the role of milk productivity in the economics of dairy production. Nowadays, feed additives are an integral part of newly calved cow feeding. They are an important tool for maintaining and improving the metabolism of cows, which helps them enter the lactation stage more easily. The study demonstrated that the introduction of "Cowfresh" feed concentrate at the beginning of the lactation period in combination with "Active Mix" liquid premix had a positive effect on the productivity and health of cows. This made it possible to reduce the weight loss of cows and accelerate its recovery, as well as maintain both quantitative and qualitative indicators of dairy products. The results of the study showed that the use of feed additives not only helped to increase milk yield, but also increased the fat and protein content in milk. It is especially important for economic efficiency in agricultural production. Thus, proper feeding of newly calved cows is a key factor determining their productivity and the profitability of dairy production as a whole. Feed additives "Cowfresh" and "Active Mix" can significantly improve these indicators, providing more efficient feed utilization and reducing milk production costs. The article is of interest to specialists in the field of livestock farming, as well as to anyone interested in the issues of proper feeding and maintenance of cattle.
