Dairying Practice Test: The Dairy Farm — Flashcards

Here are some basics of dairy farming:
Cows / Buffalo: Cows / Buffalo are the primary source of raw materials for dairy products. They are the world's main suppliers of milk.
Feeding: How cows are fed is an important part of dairy farming. The feeding method determines how healthy the cows will be and how much milk they will produce.
Milking: Milking is the most important practice in a dairy farm. A good milking facility ensures the best milk from the dairy cattle.
Disease prevention: Disease prevention is important in a cow-calf operation. Adequate nutrition, strategic deworming, sanitation, and a well-designed vaccination program are all necessary to maintain herd health.
Milk production: Large scale dairy farms use modern and innovative technology to automate the milking system and maintain the health parameters of the cattle.
Milk marketing standards: Strict governmental standards ensure that both conventional and organic milk are wholesome, safe, and nutritious.
Dairy farm management: Efficient management of a dairy farm is the key to success. A dairy requires capital, a space for the cattle to leave, a feed store, a milking parlor, and a sterile facility for storing milk.
