Cattle Dairy Cow Milk Production

[Sue Auma]

I am looking to buy a dairy cow within the next few weeks. How many litres of milk can I expect it to produce????

I am not a dairy expert but I believe it depends on the breed, feeding/nutrition, and the overall health of the animal. I have heard it can range anywhere between 10-30 Litres per day. Perhaps a dairy expert can provide more information for us.

High milk production depends on proper management, or else you can get a cow that produces high without proper animal husbandry/animal management you can be disappointed.

Enough fodder is the primary focus.

Milk production depends on the breed type and how best you are prepared to exploit that genetic potential. The dairy cow is like a machine that converts raw materials (feed and water) into milk. To get more milk, feed the cow quality feed in good quantity.
