How much green fodder is required for a Holstein cow per day in KG?
That all depends on the type and consistency of this "green fodder," its nutrient quality/value, what you are feeding in addition to the fodder, the moisture level of the fodder, and, for the cow, the weight of the Holstein, if she's dry or lactating, what stage of lactation she is in (if she is lactating), and her age. As such, this question cannot be answerable without providing more information and details in such a way to provide answers to the aforementioned factors and variables.
What are some disadvantages of red and white Holstein?
The red and white Holstein is a color variation in Holstein cattle as a whole. There are still some breeders that select for this color trait (the Red and White Dairy Cattle Association). The disadvantage of red color is that there are several alleles for red color at the Extension site:
Wild Type Red (E+), Black/red (E br) (calves born red but turn black at 3-6 months also called Telstar) and recessive red (e). There is also a Dominant Red allele that is not associated with the extension locus which over rides all alleles at the extension site.
Each of the red alleles creates a slightly different color of red and this makes the possibilities for true breeding animals of each red color allele both interesting and problematic.
Any other issues are associated with the entire Holstein breed and is not linked to any one color.
What are the disadvantages of the Holstein cattle?
Belgian blue cattle have too fine of bone to be able to support the amount of weight that their muscularity (being double-muscling) that they possess, however this is not much trouble if the amount of muscle they have is not in the extremes like what is common for much of European Belgian Blue cattle.
Other disadvantages include calving difficulties due to the double muscling in cows which decrease the vaginal diameter during labour; extreme muscling may inhibit bulls to naturally breed cows (those without the extreme muscling will often not have this issue); cows may have poor milking ability, and often cannot thrive on pasture alone without some level of supplementation (however there may be some disagreement here from North American BB breeders).
The meat of Belgian Blue cattle is far leaner than any other breed except Piedmontese (which is also a double-muscled breed), so even though health benefits from BB beef is of great value, it is not valued so much in the conventional meat packer industry. Much of the meat from these cattle can only be sold through niche marketing.
