Milk capacity

For a dairy cow, milk capacity depends on breed, lactation stage, and feed. As a general guide, Sahiwal gives about eight to twelve liters a day, Gir about six to ten liters, HF cross about ten to twenty liters, and Jersey cross about eight to twenty liters. Peak milk is usually in the second to third month after calving, then it slowly falls. If you want steady daily supply, keep two cows with staggered calvings.
