This study aims to evaluate the effect of providing high-quality forage on the milk production of dairy cattle at Lucky Farm, located in Medowo Village, Kediri Regency. Lucky Farm is a modern dairy operation that utilizes a high-quality forage feeding system as a strategy to increase milk yield. The research was conducted over a three-month period, from April to June 2025, employing an educational and quantitative approach. Data were collected through daily milk volume logging (morning and evening), observation of the physical quality of the milk, and identification of the type and composition of the forage provided. The results indicated a significant increase in milk production from April (11,450.9 liters) to May (12,426.95 liters) and June (12,967.6 liters). This increase reflects the positive contribution of high-quality forages, such as elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum), legumes, and sesbania leaves, in meeting the nutritional requirements of the livestock, enhancing the efficiency of rumen fermentation, and supporting milk synthesis. Therefore, a feed management system based on high-nutrient local forages has been proven effective in improving both the quantity and quality of milk and can be adopted as a model for sustainable dairy farming development in tropical regions.
