Trends for dairy product consumption are changing, and so is Jersey milk. Production statistics released by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) show Registered Jerseys are not just yielding more pounds of fluid milk, but more pounds of nutrient-dense fluid milk. Every year, Jersey milk is becoming denser as breeders respond to cues from the market to develop a product that is more often eaten than sipped and increasingly being shipped across the globe as cheese or food ingredients.
The official lactation average for Registered Jerseys is now 20,447 lbs. milk, 1,005 lbs. fat and 765 lbs. protein on a standardized mature equivalent (m.e.) basis. On a Cheddar cheese yield basis (38% moisture), average production is 2,602 lbs. For the third consecutive year, all measures of production are increases over the previous year. The 2022 lactation average is based on 92,400 lactations. As it was in 2021, the average number of lactations per cow stands at 2.32 lactations. Ten years ago, the average number of lactations per cow was 2.44.
As compared to 2021, the new breed average equates to an extra 126 lbs. milk, 10 lbs. fat, 9 lbs. protein, and 28 lbs. cheese yield on an m.e. basis.
While component tests generally decrease as yield increases, this has not been the case with Registered Jersey production over the past several years. Both fat and protein test have increased or held each year over the past four years and today stand at 4.91% for fat and 3.74% for protein.
With these increases come increases in the pounds of product that can be processed from raw Jersey milk. The amount of Cheddar cheese that can be produced from 100 lbs. of Jersey milk is now 12.73 lbs. on a mature equivalent basis, up from 12.67 lbs. in 2021 and 12.4 lbs. in 2013.
Actual production is a new record as well at 18,058 lbs. milk, 889 lbs. fat (4.92%) and 674 lbs. protein (3.73%). Cheese yield is 2,293 lbs. and cheese yield per hundredweight is 12.7 lbs. The marks surpass those of 2021 by 117 lbs. milk, 8 lbs. fat, 9 lbs. protein and 25 lbs. cheese yield.
Expressed as energy corrected milk (ECM), average production for Registered Jerseys is 25,553 lbs. milk m.e. and 22,568 lbs. actual. Respective yield for ECM is up 239 lbs. and 205 lbs. versus 2021.
Based on statistics of the previous 10 years, the breed lactation average is projected to reach 21,259 lbs. milk, 1,058 lbs. fat (4.98%) and 813 bs. protein 3.83%) by 2030. Cheese yield is projected to 2,764 lbs. On an actual basis, production is projected to reach 19,002 lbs. milk, 949 lbs. fat (5.0%) and 722 lbs. protein (3.8%), with a cheese yield of 2,460 lbs. ECM is projected to be 26,871 lbs. m.e. and 24,027 lbs. actual.
Cheese yield per hundredweight is projected to rise to 13 lbs. of product on an m.e. basis and to 12.94 lbs. on an actual basis.
In the annual breed production summary released by the AJCA, production is included from cows enrolled on AJCA performance programs (REAP, TPE and Performance Records) with a registry minimum of Generation Count 4. Records included in the average are between 180-305 days in length and have data collection ratings of 85 or higher. Herds identified in Jersey Journal rankings have a minimum of 10 cows.
The top 10 herds in the nation overall and by herd size for each measure of production are listed below. Herds above breed average are also identified in the March 2023 issue of Jersey Journal .
