§ 5. Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Agriculture the estimated average milk yield from cows in gallons per year for 1952–53 and the yield pre-war; and what future improvement he expects.
§ Sir T. DugdaleThe estimated average annual milk yield per cow in the United Kingdom in 1952–53 is 609 gallons. The comparable pre-war figure was 542 gallons. Over the past two or three years the average annual increase has been between 1 and 2 per cent., and I should expect this average rate of improvement at least to be maintained in the future.
