Improved Longevity in Cows
On average, dairy cows have 3 to 4 productive years, bringing their total lifespan to 4.5-6 years, compared to a natural life expectancy of about 20 years.
Cows that live longer reduce the need for frequent replacements, lowering costs and increasing overall productivity by providing more milk or offspring over their lifespan. Healthier, longer-living cows also tend to require less medical care, which reduces veterinary expenses and improving herd health.
