Is it possible to raise mini-cows in the country: is the new trend worth the attention of the livestock breeder
It is not for nothing that cattle are called large, since the average weight of a cow is 600 kg.
Cows need enough feed and space to grow properly.
This is one of the reasons why many countries have decided to develop so-called dwarf breeds.
Let's see if it's worth raising mini-cows on your summer cottage.
How do we look at this from an industrial perspective?
Reducing the size of the animal affects the productivity of meat and milk.
At the same time, such animals require less effort to maintain. They are easier to interact with and consume less food.
In fact, they produce enough product for one family. Mini-cows weigh 200-300 kg and do not exceed 100 cm at the withers in terms of height.
During the lactation season they produce about 2000 liters of milk, which is enough for a small farm.
