Milk is the most significant cattle production among other ones, which is produced within milk glands and it is used as a primary food for young individuals providing them with the necessary proteins, fat, immunoglobulin, minerals, vitamins, etc.
One of the chief advantages of dairy farming is that the dairy cow fits admirably in diversified and Intensive farming where the farmer strives to produce the greatest possible income from a small acreage and yet retain the fertility of his farm.
A number of factors influence herd milk yields, and farmers may choose anything from a low-input–low-output system to a high-input–high-output system.
*Low-input–low-output herds are almost invariably based on spring-calving grazing systems: they rely on a low purchased-feed rate and try to produce the bulk of their milk from grazed grass.
*High-input–high-output systems are based on housed cows that are fed high levels of concentrate. They require careful ration formulation and tight fertility management.
The recent scientific achievements have significantly influenced on managing the cattle, increasing their production rate and also it has enabled changing the breed structure with the aim to fulfill the needs of the modern society by their products.
Good dairy farming practice ensures that the milk is produced by healthy animals in a manner that is sustainable and responsible from the animal welfare, social, economic and environmental perspectives. So, implementing good dairy farming practice is good risk management for the short- and long-term future of the dairy farming enterprise.
