How much water does a cow need to drink in order to produce 10 gallons of milk each day? Well, for those of you that said 20 gallons-you were right!! A cow needs to drink at least twice as much water as the amount of milk it produces.
And did you know that a cow can drink up to 50 gallons of water a day? Does that mean that a cow can produce 100 gallons of milk each day? Not really, I don't know any cow that can produce that much milk in a day. However, there are cows that can give 100 POUNDS in a day!
Anyway, we are quite happy with 10 gallons!!
Until next time,
Drink lots of MILK!!
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i love cows
ReplyDeletejust an observation, if a cow needs 20 gallons of water for every 10 gallons of milk produced, that's a 2 gallons water pero 1 gallon of milk, so if a cow can drink up to 50 gallons of water the estimated production because it's a 2:1 water:milk ratio, would be 25 gallons of milk, not a 100 gallons, that would be the other way around if we got 2 gallons of milk per every gallon of water a cow drinks.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. It was late when I posted and evidently I didn't check my post very well. Thanks for the correction!!
