Category: Dairy Cow

Dairy Cow breeding & Intensive genetic selection has resulted in modern dairy cows with very high milk yields. The high-yielding dairy cow produces a lot of milk; and the main emphasis for dairy farmers is to sell as much milk as possible with maximum efficiency, both financially and in terms of animal welfare. The number of calves produced is of secondary importance, and this should be remembered by managerial/agricultural advisors and veterinarians.
