Milk has had a fundamental importance in nutrition over the centuries, mainly due to its high nutritional value, which results from a diversified chemical composition, including fat, protein, lactose, and mineral content. This study aims to monitor milk production and the evolution of the main milk quality parameters such as fat, protein, lactose, dry matter, and somatic cell count. The study was carried out on a farm in southeastern Romania, on Montbeliard cows raised in an intensive system. The study was conducted over 12 months, covering both the warm and cold seasons. The results highlighted the importance of monitoring milk production and that a well-balanced nutrition, which includes high-quality feed, is essential for maximizing milk yield, but also for its chemical composition.
