Currently in her 4th lactation she has averaged 38.40 kgs of milk 4.23% fat, 3.20% protein per day in milk through her life.
Production. This breed makes up 98% of Norway’s total cattle figures! Dairy cow diets often exceed protein requirements for milk production. They’re usually red and white, or black and white. Health traits have been included in the Total Merit Index (TMI) since 1978. Health beneficially, saturated fatty acids level in milk of crossbreeds was by 25.96% lower in crossbreds milk when compared to purebred cows. In Norway they are also known by the name Norsk rodt fe. The Red Pied Swedish breed was largest in terms of size in Sweden in the 1920s. The modern Ayrshire is red and white, but the red can range from a dark, almost mahogany shade to quite light. Dairy goats The number of dairy goats has fluctuated in the period from 2008 to 2018. Currently, the average percentages of 4.2% fat and 3.4% protein is across the entire population of cows of all lactations. Results. At the same time, dietary protein use efficiency for milk production is low leading to excretion of large amounts of nitrogen to the environment. milk solids yield is lower for the pure-bred Norwegian Red cows compared to their Holstein-Friesian counterparts, but there is little difference in milk solids yield between the Holstein-Friesians and the Norwegian Red cross-breds. As the name suggests, this breed is from Sweden and originated from English Milking Shorthorn dairy cattle and Scottish Ayrshire cattle. Health traits. Characteristics Norwegian Red cattle do not express the external uniformity seen in a true breed, although they are red or red-pied for the most part. We assessed the effects of feeding two grass/clover silages mainly differing in crude protein (CP) content on milk and component yields, nitrogen and gross feed utilization efficiency with Norwegian Red dairy (NRF) cows.

In the best herds in Norway, milk production exceeds 10,000 kg (22,045 lbs), with the best performing cows milking more than 16,000 kg (35,275 lbs). Norwegian Red cattle are a popular Continental European breed, which came to be officially recognised around 1935. They’re a dual purpose breed for beef and milk, but are used primarily in dairy production! In 1927 these two breeds merged into SRB (Swedish Red and White Breed). Any color pattern is acceptable, and some Ayrshires appear nearly all red or all white. The Swedish Red cattle are a dairy cattle breed which are raised primarily for milk production. Holstein, the NRF is a dual-purpose breed that is known for its milk production in addition to meat quality. In summary, there were fewer farms for milk production keeping on average more dairy cows. Unlike other popular dairy cattle breeds e.g. Dutch Belted Cow (Belted Galloway Cow) -- named for the white band or 'belt' around their midsection.
