What kind of antibiotics are you referring to? There are many types of antibiotics that are out there for different diseases, so there isn't just one general type to give to a bovine. Also, antibiotics should be given to cattle only when they need them, like if they have an infection of some sort.

Only if they're sick with a microbial infection. Other than that they don't really need any.

Should you avoid dairy products if you are taking antibiotics?

You are not allowed to take dairy products with tetracycline group of antibiotics. Tetracycline group of antibiotics are precipitated in the stomach and are not absorbed. You may take them about one hour before taking dairy products. All the other antibiotics can probably be taken with dairy products. Some antibiotics, like macrolide group of antibiotics and oral penicillin tablets are to be taken on empty stomach. Macrolide group of antibiotics include erythromycin, roxithromycin, clarithromycin and azithromycin. Empty stomach means no dairy products also.

How much does a holstein cow weigh in lactation?

It depends in the breed! If you are talking about dairy cows the average Holstein Cow weights 1,300lbs give or take a couple hundred pounds. But that is for a mature cow. Dairy cows usually have their first calf at about 2 years old and not considered mature until they are about 5 or 6 years old!!! Cows only start producing milk when they have their first calf. Holsteins are the most common dairy cows in the world and the biggest and largest of the dairy cows. Jerseys are much smaller for example!

Why do dairy cattle have less of a fligth zone?

Upon generations and generations and generations of selective breeding, dairy cows have been selected to not only give more milk than their calves can take in, but also to be docile and easy to handle in the milking parlor. Genetics, my friend, is the reason why dairy cows have less of a flight zone. It is not a good thing when dealing with dairy bulls though.

Are female beef cows milk cows?

No. Cows are female, they're mature female bovines that have had a calf. Beef cows are genetically selected to produce more beefy frames than dairy cows are, and thus only produce enough milk for their calves. Beef cows are typically not selected for increased milk quantity like other dairy breeds are (including Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss), and thus, unlike dairy cows, do not produce so much milk that their one calf can't drink it all at one nursing.
