Factors Affecting Milk Yield in Cows

Race, age, live weight, lactation period, number of daily milking, anger, nutrition, environmental temperature, calving season, dry time, diseases and exercise were determined as factors affecting milk yield in cows.

THESE FACTORS ;

  • RACE: The most important factor affecting the yield of a cow is race. No matter how good the conditions are, their genetic structure has an impact on their efficiency.
    • Holstein: 6000-9000 kg.
    • Brown Swiss : 5000-7000 kg.
    • Simmental Cattle : 5000-7000 kg.
    • Jersey Cattle: 4000-5000 kg.
  • AGE: The period when the cows give milk is called the lactation period. As the number of lactation increases, milk yield increases. It gives low milk yield during the first lactation period but this yield increases with each passing year. 4. After the lactation period, a decrease in milk productivity is started.
  • LIVE WEIGHT: The cows in the same breed have large amounts of milk.
  • LACTATION PERIOD: After the lactation period milk yield is very much in the first two months. This efficiency then begins to decrease.
  • NUMBER OF MILKING: Generally, milking is performed twice a day in 12 hours. Increases milk productivity in milking cows, but decreases productivity in cows that are not large. Milking average 6-7 min. should take. If more than 4 minutes reduces efficiency. If more than 8 minutes, it will cause stress.
  • ENVIRONMENTAL HEAT: The ideal temperature for milk-giving animals is 5-15 degrees.
  • ANGER - PREGNANCY: In cows, there is a decrease in milk yield during the 21-day recurrence period and lasting for 24 hours. After the cow becomes pregnant, the yield is reduced again due to hormones. Milk yield is very low at the end of pregnancy.
  • NUTRITION: For high milk yield, the nutrients needed by animals must be adequate and balanced. Cows should be fed at the same time during the period they give milk and when they stay dry. Animals should be able to drink water at any time.
  • CALVING PERIOD: The highest yield is obtained in autumn from calving cows, and the lowest yield is obtained in summer from calving cows.
  • COWS DRYING TIME: After the lactation period, the absence of milk in the breast is called dry. 10 months of milk yield, 2 months of dry cows get better yield.
  • DISEASES: Cows show high milk yield when they have a healthy breast, tripe and foot structure.
  • EXERCISE: Moderate activity to be made every day helps to increase milk yield in cows. They are allowed at least once a day to be released.
