Girolando Cow breaks world record with 343 kg milk production in three days

A Brazilian cow, Girolando has stunned the dairy world by breaking a world record, producing an incredible 343 litres of milk in just three days, during a tournament held in Delfim Moreira (MG).

To put that into perspective, most cows churn out between a 12 and 35 litres daily, but this phenomenal bovine yielded a whopping 114 litres per day - a staggering feat attributed to its superior breed, balanced diet, top-notch care, and cutting-edge dairy tech.
