cattlefeed.info is an independent publication run by Parv Badjatiya. We do not require users to register, create accounts, or share personal information to read content.

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
3. Cookies
We use three categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies — needed for the site to function (e.g. remembering your cookie-consent choice). These cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies — used by Vercel Analytics and (if enabled) Google Analytics to measure traffic. These are aggregated and not used to identify you.
- Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve relevant ads. These can be disabled by choosing "Essential only" in our cookie banner or in your browser settings.
4. Google AdSense
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or, for general opt-out from third-party vendors, aboutads.info/choices.
5. Analytics
We use Vercel Analytics for aggregate site-usage reporting. Vercel Analytics does not use third-party cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. See Vercel's privacy policy.
We may also use Google Analytics 4 (GA4). GA4 anonymises IP addresses by default. See Google's privacy policy.
