Yes. A typical lactating Jersey cow will eat 5% of her body weight per day in dry matter. In dry matter terms, a 1000 lb cow can eat upwards of 50 lbs per day. On an as-fed basis, that can range from 70 to 100 lbs per day.

Yes, Jersey cows typically have a good appetite and can consume a substantial amount of food. They are known to be efficient milk producers with a high feed conversion rate. Providing them with a balanced diet ensures their health and productivity.

How much milk does a cow produce in a week?

A young cow can produce 25 gallons of milk a week. A jersey cow, 28 gallons per week. Guess it depends on the size of the cow. And no, cows that stand in the shade do NOT give chocolate milk. :) My parents Holsteins were giving approximately 40-49 gal a week. My Jersey on silage will produce 35gal per week. On grain and hay she will produce 28gal per week. How much a cow produces depends a lot on what they are being fed and how stressed they are. A happy cow will give more milk than an unhappy cow, and the higher the quality of the feed, the more milk they are able to produce.
