How much milk does a cow produce per day?

Dairy Cows: The Unsung Heroes of Milk Production

A dairy cow produces about 8 to 10 gallons of milk per day. This impressive output is essential in meeting the high demand for milk and dairy products like cheese, butter, yogurt, and ice cream. Dairy cows are carefully managed to ensure they remain healthy and productive, allowing them to provide a steady milk supply.

The role of dairy cows in agriculture cannot be overstated. Their daily contributions are the foundation of the dairy industry, which provides essential nutrients to people of all ages.
