Dairy cattle are those primarily raised for their milk as part of dairy farming.
Notes
- ^ Milk production varies due to a significant range of variables including age of the cow, time of year, climate conditions, type of feed and specific breed lineages. Particular attention should be made to citations for figures used in this table for the methods used to obtain these average figures.
