Milk volume produced per cow per day across the lactation. The shape of the curve — how high it peaks and how well it holds — tells you as much as the headline average.
Subtropical Queensland herds average around 6,250 L/cow/year (≈24 L/day); high-input, grain-based herds run well above.
Subtropical Dairy ↗Peak yield sets the ceiling for the whole lactation; persistency (how slowly cows fall away from peak) is where feeding and genetics show up. Together they drive total litres and milk income.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Hit peak with high-quality feed and full transition-cow management.
Hold persistency by matching the ration to pasture quality through the season.
Cull chronic low-yielders and breed for production and persistency.
