The yield of whole fresh cow milk in the US has been forecasted to grow from 110.75 thousand hectograms per animal in 2024 to 114.28 in 2028. Compared to the actual yield in 2023, the yield is expected to increase year-on-year by approximately 0.82% from 2024 to 2025, 0.80% from 2025 to 2026, 0.78% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.75% from 2027 to 2028.
