The abolition of the quota system in April 2015 is the first opportunity to expand milk output since 1984.

This hormone is injected into dairy cows to increase milk output.

The 1988 rise in milk output is expected to be in the range of 1 percent to 3 percent, perhaps to a record level.

Smoking reduces daily milk output by roughly 250-300 mL.

They also asserted that the test lowered the quality of milk and reduced a cow's milk output.

Production rose to a record 145.3 billion pounds in 1988 because of an increase of almost 3 percent in milk output per cow.

Injected once every two weeks, the hormone can increase a cow's milk output by 10 percent to 15 percent, according to the company and to farmers.

Cattle are predominantly indigenous breeds with lower milk output than grade cattle.

The best-known example is the production of bovine growth hormone, which can increase a cow's milk output or produce leaner beef.

The family cleared only $10,000 after expenses last year, even though the farm's milk output was high - two million pounds from 165 cows.
