Milk is one beverage many people like to drink. Knowing where it comes from, how it's produced and what animals are involved in milk production is all that makes up this category. Everything milk and dairy can be asked and answered here.

How much density does a gallon of milk have?
The density of various forms of cow's milk ranges between 1.033 and 1.036 kg/L.
The volume has nothing to do with the density. A drop, a glass, a gallon, and a
tanker truckload of milk all have the same density.
The black cows are the better milkers because the amount of milk they produced per cow is greater than that from the brown cows.
This is a simple algebra problem. Let x = black cow and y = brown cow, solving as such:
4x = 5
3x = 4
3y = 5
5y = 4
4x + 3x = 9
7x = 9
x = 9/7 = 1.29 units per black cow
3y + 5y = 9
8y = 9
y = 9/8 = 1.13 units per brown cow
If 'X' is the number of quarts of 6 percent butterfat milk and 'Y' is the number of quarts of the 1 percent butterfat milk then:
x + y = 75 quarts
and
(6x + 1y)/75 = 4 (because we want 4 percent per quart)
then solving for the system of equations leads to:
x = 45 quarts (the 6 percent)
and
y = 30 quarts (the 1 percent)
What breed of cows milk tends to freeze first as temperature drops?
There are several things that could cause the milk to freeze. However this often happens with the beef cow in the later part of the year.
Your off-center error cent will be worth $2 to $10, depending on how much off-center it is and how nice of condition it's in.
When was Dairy Farm International Holdings created?
Dairy Farm International Holdings was created in 1886.
How long after drinking 8 ounces of water do you need to pee?
Anywhere from 20 minutes - to not at all, depending on how dehydrated you are or aren't.
How many acres of alfalfa to feed one dairy cow a year?
This is one question that is impossible to answer because of many reasons such as:
- A cow cannot live on one type of forage for an entire year
- A dairy cow will need to be treated or given a preventative for bloat from a diet of nothing but alfalfa, if that is what the purpose of the question is.
- Location was never specified
- Precipitation for the particular area was never identified
- A question of whether that cow is being grazed on alfalfa or if it's being fed all year round needs to be answered
- What is the weight of this cow? What breed?
- If the cow is being fed, how many times during a growing year is that to-be-specified acreage of alfalfa should be cut? Once? Twice? Thrice?
- If the cow is not being fed a diet of strictly alfalfa as was posed in the second bullet, then what else is this cow being fed?
As such, depending on your location and, as mentioned before, how many cuts of alfalfa are taken off if the cow is being fed and not grazed, acreage can range from 2 acres to 20 acres. If grazed, it would be significantly more than that.
When a dairy farmer chooses which cows to breed based upon milk production, he is taking advantage of natural selection.
How many cows does it take to make an ton of milk?
That really depends on the breed of the cows used and the amount of milk they can produce. Thus we can base this on an estimated amount: Let's say one cow will produce around 20 lbs of milk per milking. Estimate that one ton = 2000 lbs, so 2000/20 = 100. Thus 100 of these cows will produce one ton of milk in one milking.
Now lets goof things up here. Let's say that this is a Holstein cow which has been known produces twice that amount: i.e., 40 lbs per milking. Also, let's assume that one ton is equal to 2200 lbs. Thus, 2200/40 = 55 cows. Therefore, 55 Holstein cows can be used to produce one ton of milk per milking.
What is the importance of livestock records in animal breeding?
Records are there to identify a calf, its date of birth, birthweight (if necessary), and its dam and sire, as well as its tag number and any health records (vaccination, treatments, etc.) with that calf. All of these records, and more, are there in case a problem arises where the calf, if grown into a full-grown cow or bull (depending on the sex of the calf) needs to be traced back to its birth place or for any genetic records of its sire and dam.
My teacher said cows drink petrol why?
I'm sorry to say this but your teacher is not speaking the truth. Cows do not drink petrol, they drink water. Just like you, me, your friends and your teachers do. If they drink petrol they will die.
Are non productive dairy cows used for meat?
Yes. Any dairy cow that is culled from the herd as being non-productive is slaughtered for meat. Some cows that die on the farm don't make it as far as the meat factory, rather they get buried in the "dead pile" or "dead pit" or whatever it's called and decompose back into soil.
Can soy milk be drank after two months of expiration?
No, unless you like the taste of "off" or soured soy milk.
Does cows milk come from the same place as wee?
Absolutely not. Milk comes from the udder of the cow, that pink sac with four cylindrical "things" (called teats) hanging down. Urine from a cow comes from the vulva, that "girly part" that is found immediately below the anus.
What are milk producing animals known as?
They are all together called "Milch Animals".
Or else say them Dairy animals Eg. dairy cows, dairy goats
What to do when you've realized the milk you just drank is rotten?
Throw it up! It's better than getting sick from it if you don't purge. You'll probably throw up at the smell or even the though of drinking "rotten" or spoiled milk.
