The agricultural industry is currently actively developing in the world. Therefore, many issues related to the organization and conduct of farming activities can be considered relevant. Considering that the climate in Europe is very different and not always favorable, many different factors should be taken into account when choosing farm animals. And the ability to endure harsh weather conditions well should not be the only plus of the animal. In addition to this quality, the animal must bear fruit and perform the function for which it was brought.
The Swiss cow is a breed of cattle bred in Switzerland, the canton of Schwyz. I must say that the Swiss cow was originally bred by Swiss monks to perform all kinds of chores as a traction force. And only over time, as a result of further selection, it acquired all its qualities that helped it earn world recognition.
Currently, it is one of the most popular breeds of cows and is used in farming activities in many European countries. Why did this breed of cows so rapidly gain popularity all over the world, from native Switzerland to distant South America? Is it really that good and does it make sense to use it on your farm?
Swiss cows are of three types:
Pure dairy.
Dairy and meat.
Meat and dairy.
As the name implies, in agriculture they are used for different purposes. Each of the subspecies differs slightly from each other in body structure, but in general terms, these differences are not so noticeable. So, the head of a Swiss cow is medium in size, and the horns are provided by nature, but most often they are cauterized in early childhood and therefore are absent. There are folds of thin skin on the neck, the chest is wide and deep, the croup is wide and long, and the udder is of the correct shape. The live weight of cows is 570-600 kg, and bulls - 900-1000 kg. The average annual milk yield is 4000-4500 kg of milk with a fat content of 3.7-3.8%. Animals are precocious and have good meat qualities. Slaughter yield 56-59%
