A
1 to 2
B

C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dairy farmers use milking machines to milk their cows 2-3 times per day. It only takes 5-7 minutes for a cow to be milked!

Detailed explanation-2: -Average U.S. cow produces 53 lb of milk per day, or 6.2 gallons. Average cow eats …

Detailed explanation-3: -Cows milked three times a day had fewer days to first breeding than their twice daily counterparts. First lactation cows milked three times daily had more days to last breeding, more breedings, and consequently, more days open than cows milked twice a day.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most dairy cows are milked two to three times per day. On average, a cow will produce six to seven gallons of milk each day.

Detailed explanation-5: -In temperate dairy systems, total milk yield for 300 day lactation can be estimated by multiplying peak yield by 200. Hence a cow peaking at 20 litres per day (L/d) should produce 4000 L/lactation, while a peak of 30 L/d equates to a 6000 L full lactation milk yield.
