That second PDF was really helpful. But my bovine research, to get a reference point, says the numbers in the chart for milk are no where near real world. Even if I were to assume 1 cow per hectare (real world is in the 2-4 range), we get 50Kg feed per cow per day and get annual milk yields of 1500-2300 Kg. That's ONE COW! Granted, we are assuming decent feed, but we are growing corn for them, so...
Ok, Goat can graze at a rate of about 6:1 compared to cows. Goats eat about 2Kg/day Goat give about 3Kg milk per day for 300 days, for about 900Kg/year Goat are more prone to parasitic disease, so would require more care. Bovine are under rated for yield in the book by about 10:1. Bovine density in the book is 0.5 vs. about 3 rl. For dairy goats, how does yield/hectare of 90Kg with 0.6 Kg corn to help account for the extra care they take to avoid disease? |
