Before a cow ever enters the milking parlor, its potential is determined by its DNA. Genetics are the foundational factors that affect milk production<\/strong>. While Holsteins are famous for high volume, Jerseys are prized for higher milk fat and protein (quality). However, even the best genetics will fail to deliver if the environmental factors are not managed correctly.<\/p>\n Nutrition is arguably the most influential of the factors affecting milk quality.<\/p>\n When a cow suddenly drops in production, it is usually a sign of acute stress or illness. If you are wondering, “Why won\u2019t my cow produce milk?”<\/strong>, consider these three common culprits:<\/p>\n One of the most overlooked factors that affect milk production is the amount of time a cow spends resting. A cow should rest for 12 to 14 hours a day. During rest, blood flow to the udder increases by up to 30%, which is essential for milk synthesis.<\/p>\n This is where the quality of your bedding becomes vital. Hard, damp, or bacteria-ridden surfaces discourage cows from lying down, leading to fatigue and poor milk yield. Furthermore, clean bedding is the first line of defense against mastitis, directly influencing factors affecting milk quality such as bacterial load and SCC.<\/p>\n To maintain a high-quality dairy environment, the choice of bedding material is a strategic decision. Since 2017, World Export<\/strong> has provided international dairy farms with high-performance wood sawdust designed to optimize cow comfort and hygiene.<\/p>\n Our wood sawdust is highly absorbent, which keeps the udder dry and reduces the risk of environmental mastitis. By maintaining a clean resting area, you directly improve the quality of the milk produced.<\/p>\n We offer three distinct types of sawdust to meet the specific needs and budgets of our global clients:<\/p>\n<\/span>Nutritional Management and Hydration<\/span><\/h2>\n
