Dairy cows can be treated with ivermectin, but it causes two problems. First, the ivermectin has a milk withhold time - for a specific amount of time the milk from that cow must be thrown away so it can cost the farmer a lot of money depending on where she is in her lactation curve. Second, ivermectin is active against both pests (mites, lice, etc.) and helpful insects like the dung beetle which helps break down the cow patties in the pastures.

Can you give goats ivermectin injectable wormer?
It depends on whether the injectable ivermectin is registered for use in goats or not - read the label on the packaging. If it is not registered you might be able to get an off-label permit from your private veterinarian as sometimes the chemical companies have done the research but due to the cost of registering drugs it may not have been economical to registered the drug for that particular species. If you are using the drug off-label you take the risk and also watch out for the withholding periods.
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.

Do all cows produce milk you drink?
Cows are mammals and all mammals make milk. Generally only dairy cows make enough milk to be considered commercially viable. Calves typically need about 2 gallons a day for 2 months. Dairy cows average 5 to 9 gallons of milk a day for 305+ days a year. Beef cows generally make only enough milk to feed their nursing calves.
What precautions do you take while milking the cows with machines - in the long run - to avoid the emaciation of cows?
Milking cows with machines have nothing to do with emaciation or weight loss. Dairy cows are naturally thin because their bodies have been genetically modified, by man, to put more effort into producing milk than putting muscle or fat on. So no matter how much these cows are fed (and they eat a lot every day anyway), they will still remain thin.
