About This Lesson
See how science comes alive on a dairy farm! The US dairy industry produces 50 percent more milk than it did 50 years ago while using 60 percent fewer cows than it did back then to do it. This increase in production has been achieved through science and technology. This lesson will teach about the life cycle of a dairy cow while showing how farms have used advanced nutrition, technology and selective breeding to increase the cow’s ability to give milk.
