Can a cow produces 500 kiloliters of milk a day?
It takes between 85 and 95 to produce 500 gallons of milk. Each cow produces approximately 6 gallons of milk per day.
They don't, certainly not by choice. They are built to give their calves milk, not humans. It's us humans who have chosen to take advantage and manipulate cows so that they produce more milk than their calves need so that we can take it and drink it or make other food products from it.
On average how much milk does a dairy cow produce in a year in gallons?
After a dairy cow gives birth, it is usually milked for 10 months, then allowed to 'dry up' for the two month's prior to birthing, again.
IF the cow is milked twice per day, and gives 4 gallons per milking (average), she can give approximatly 2400 gallons of milk per year. Of course, this does not take into account the age of the animal, sickness, or feeding.
How do you drink a gallon of milk in half an hour?
It has been known to be nearly physically impossible (similar with the concept of not being able to lick your elbow; some people have the ability to accomplish the feat) to drink a gallon of milk in one hour. The human body is not capable of consuming that much milk without spewing it back out (i.e. throwing up, barfing, etc.).
If one can barely do it in one hour (those few that can), it is certainly impossible to do it in half of one.
Is there a certain cow that produces chocolate milk?
No. But maybe in the future someone might want to do some genetic engineering.
Where is the largest dairy farm in new york?
Saudi Arabian Agriculture and Dairy Company (SAADCO). Located at al-Kharj, 95 kilometers from Riyadh, it has over 37,000 cows and 2,500 hectares of newly irrigated land (6,178 acres) to produce fodder, and on-site milk processing plants.
How do you stop fresh milk curdling?
If the milk is fresh, then keeping it in the refrigerator is sufficient to prevent the milk from curdling. If milk curdles in the refrigerator, than it is probably spoiled and not good to drink.
How do you get the smell of rotten milk out of your carpet?
Well if you burnt milk at your house, not to worry. Burnt milk smell cant damage your body. Lots of people have burnt milk on a pot/pan (i think). All you need to do is clean the pot/pan good. Yeah, it might stink for a couple days, but you still have the ability to open the window for some fresh air yeah even when it's cold out. I'm not concerned if your smoke detector didn't pick up any smoke, but if you are, you probably have to invest in a smoke detector for the specific area of your home.
Does it hurt cows when you milk them?
No it doesn't. It actually feels really good to the cow because all that milk that is making her udder so big and swollen is being released by the milk machine or by her suckling calf. If it would hurt cows to be milked they wouldn't be so eager to get to the milk parlor when their udders are full near to the point of bursting. It's the same with other mammalian mothers: if it hurt to have their newborn offspring to suckle them, then those offspring would die, and we wouldn't have the mammals around on this earth as we know it.

How much will milk cost in 2026?
How Much Does Milk Cost?Without milk, your morning cereal just wouldn't be the same. Over the years, the general price of milk has not increased to meet the current economic trends-- so much so that dairy farmers are currently finding it hard to make a living in the industry. Milk costs vary per state and are affected by the quantity, place of purchase, and type.
Average Milk Costs in U.S.
According to A.C. Nielsen scan data, the average retail price for a gallon of milk in the United States in June 2009 was $2.72 for whole milk, $2.63 for reduced fat and $2.55 for skim milk [1].
In September 2010, a gallon of milk typically sold for an average of $3.08 for whole milk, $2.99 for reduced fat, and $2.92 for skim milk in the United States [2].
Neilson Retail Pricing keeps track of current milk cost averages -- available for viewing on a downloadable file on the California Department of Food & Agriculture website.
Factors Affecting the Cost of Milk
Prices for milk vary according to the quantity you purchase. Milk is sold in many different volumes, including by the gallon, half-gallon, liter, and single-serve cartons. A gallon of milk may cost the most, but for cost per amount -- single-serve cartons and containers boast inflated prices.
Where you purchase your milk affects the cost. For example, purchasing a gallon of milk at the grocery store can cost around $1.99, whereas the same quantity is sold for $3.99 at the local gas station or drugstore.
Specialty milks also cost more, especially when they are organic. In the grocery store, Organic Valley Milk sells for an average of $3.99 per half-gallon. A gallon of Wegman's store-brand organic lowfat milk costs around $5.79. Flavored and chocolate milk also costs more than whole, lowfat and fat-free milk. For example, a gallon of Wegman's chocolate milk costs $3.99, while a gallon of their whole milk is priced at $1.99.

When does cows milk come out of a cow before delivery?
This depends on the cow, actually. Some cows may start lactation right after her calf is born, others (and this may refer to most) will start freshening (producing milk) a few days to even a few weeks prior to giving birth. One of the classic signs that a cow is about to give birth is that her udder and teats start to engorge themselves with milk.
How often should you give puppies puppy milk?
You can go down to your local pet store or wal-mart and in the dog section they do have a formula made ecpecilly for puppy's. If I were you I would go down to your pet store and ask on of the staff to assist you In finding the right kind.
Do you loose nutrients when you freeze organic milk?
You may consider culturing some of the milk you purchase as a preservation technique rather than freezing it
It turns out that the vitamin C in milk may be as cold-sensitive as it is heat-sensitive.
researchers found that riboflavin (vitamin B2) showed little loss in either freezing or pasteurization
However, thiamine (B1) is more sensitive to heat than to freezing
The numbers of beneficial bacteria do decline when raw milk is frozen however the loss depends on the amount of time in the freezer.
One study found that antioxidants are at their peak in human milk in its first two days. There is loss with both time and with freezing

Although there is a change in the vitamin and mineral status due to freezing, the enzymes and bacteria in the raw milk simply fall into a dormant state while frozen, and become active again after thawing.

The actual bacteria count declined from 500 million to about 100 million in the first week. The defrosted milk will still have a good bit of bacteria, just not nearly as much as the fresh milk. Freezing certainly is far easier on bacteria than is pasteurization.
What is the best temperature to store liquors?
As long as it's filtered, which almost all of them are, the only important things to consider are heat (consistently over 70o-75o is bad) and direct sunlight. Too much humidity can be bad, but then you're talking like Florida in August type humidity, most people don't need to worry about it.
Should humans drink cow's milk?
1. It's not.
2. It's a bad source of iron so I guess it's not BAD but not AS GOOD as other drinks (which might contain more iron).
Why might pasteurized milk eventually spoil?
The milk is pasteurized before being put into its container. Bacteria from the air can get inside when the container is being filled. They multiply slowly under refrigeration, and eventually the milk goes bad
No, A puppy cannot drink cow's milk because it will cause diarrhea.
most dogs have a lactose intolerance...If you wish to give your puppy
milk, get puppy milk formula at a local Pet supply store OR you can
do goats milk or you can try this:
500ml Goat's Milk

Not as a staple liquid. They drink water to remain hydrated. However, there are cows that will suckle from another cow (called milk-stealing), or older heifers suckle on older cows or each other. There are even reports of a cow reaching back to suckle milk from her own udder if she can reach back far enough.
What was the cost of a gallon of milk in 2002?

Which are the dairy and whch are the beef type cattle?
Dairy cattle are thinner overall. Cows more feminine looking and have "abnormally" large udders. Bulls are VERY masculine where the females are quite feminine. They consist of some of the following breeds:
Holstein
Jersey
Brown Swiss
Guernsey
Ayrshire
Beef cattle are boxier, more 'fatter' and somewhat a little masculine looking compared to dairy cattle. Beef cows have smaller udders, but have a more tougher, beefier look about them. Beef bulls are the same way, but with more muscular tone and are much more masculine-looking than the cows. In temperament compared to dairy bulls, however, most beef bulls often are mellower. But that is not to say that bulls should be trusted. There are many breeds of beef cattle, but a few of the following include:
Hereford
Angus
Red Angus
Simmental
Red Poll
Limousin
Charolais
Shorthorn
Brahman
