Dairy Cow Efficiency And Clean Milk Practices
Dairy cows produce about 8 000 pounds of milk annually yielding 1 000 pounds of edible dry matter. A two year old steer yields 550 pounds of dry matter, less usable for food. Milk per capita rose in Canada from 241 gallons in 1921 to over 52 gallons in 1929. Prevent contamination by keeping stables clean, cooling milk promptly, using good lighting, ventilation, clean linens, and proper guttering. Regular hair trimming and brushing reduce dirt and bacterial sources, ensuring cleaner milk.
