What will happen when cows eat placenta in relation to the milk produced?
There is not enough information to postulate whether improvements or lack-thereof to milk production is observed when a cow consumes her placenta. Thus it is not known if there is a significant relation, or if this relation is so insignificant it is unimportant to the point it has nothing to do with milk production.
What is known, however, that placenta eating--placentophagia--is both instinctual and a means to deter predators from discovering the birthing site and eventually her newborn calf. It may also be done out of hunger--as a kind of reward, in a way--after a lengthy birthing period. (Placentophagia has its risks of cows choking on it, but most producers (see the related link below) have had no problems when their cows had consumed the afterbirth post-partum.)
Can a zebu cow be used as a dairy cow?
Yes, there are plenty of Zebu-related breeds like those in India and Africa that are used for milk production. They can produce milk just as well as any other cow, even though they won't produce as much as the famous Holstein.

What you the difference between lactose free and non-dairy?
Non-dairy means there is no dairy in the product. Lactose free means the product contains little to no lactose. Hard cheeses are a good example because the lactose in the milk is eaten by bacteria during the cheese making process.
Will a cow's udder explode if they are not milked?
If you stop milking a cow, the udder will get really big, but will not explode. The milk will slowly diminish and the udder will get back to normal size after a while, and she will not be giving milk any more. Of course, to get her to start milking again, she will need to give birth to another calf. However, you can get her back milking again if you start milking before she completely dries up, but she will likely be producing less than initially.
How are cows useful to humans?
Cattle provide manure to be used as organic fertilizer for gardens, fields and pastures, they are a very cheap and natural means of keeping and using the grass to grow, as well as putting the wastes they excrete back into the soil to be used by the plants that feeds the cow.
Cattle that have been bred to produce more milk than their calves can drink are milked so that humans can drink that milk. Raw milk is also made into other various dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, ice cream and butter. When these cows are no longer productive and culled from the main dairy herd, they get turned into beef. Young cattle get fattened up to be turned into veal (for calves that are younger than 6 months of age), or beef (those steers or heifers that have been grown and fattened until they are 18 to 24 months of age).
The hides of slaughtered cows, calves, bulls, steers and heifers are made into shirts, jackets, coats, belts shoes, boots, accessories like purses and wallets, tack for horses (bridles, saddles, etc.) and upholstery for furniture and car seats.
Cattle also provide a lot more to humans than just milk and meat. No part of the animal is wasted: glands are used in pharmaceutical medicines, hair from inside the ears are used for camel-hair paint brushes, body hair for normal paint brushes, air filters, and home insulation, bones for knife and pistol handles and napkin rings, horns for decoration and holding gunpowder, fat for soaps and cosmetics like lotion, blood for making cinema (or movies), the list goes on.

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.

Is camel milk better than cows?
Researchers say camel's milk is healthier than cow's milk because it is lower in fat and cholesterol and richer in potassium, iron and sodium and magnesium.
The raw material is very promising. Camel's milk is close in composition to human milk and loaded with vitamins B and C, the latter vitamin in cow's milk is lost during the pasteurisation process.
Camel milk has half the fat of cow's milk, little lactose and is a probiotic. Camel's milk is believed to help in controlling diabetes due to a high concentration of an insulin-like protein. There are also claims it can ease food allergies.

How many days does an average dairy cow take to finish a round bale of hay?
There is no such thing as an "average" dairy cow. As such this leaves this question virtually unanswerable because it depends on various factors including:
- Weight of the cow
- Body condition of the cow (thin or fat)
- Cow's rate of intake or daily rate of intake (which is affected by the cow's weight and body condition, as mentioned above, as well as breed)
- If the cow is lactating or not
- Quality of the hay (high protein low fibre or vice versa)
- Weight (which can affect size) of the hay bale
- If the cow is being supplemented with other feed or not
