Abstract

The farming of dairy cattle is one of the pillars of the animal production
sector projects in Egypt, where the value of the contribution of dairy production
amounted to about 29,3% of the total animal production value in 2013, but the
inability of distribute the highest productive types on the suitable production
provinces leads to decrease the dairy production, where self-sufficiency in milk
and milk products was estimated ratio of about 90% in 2013, so the aim of the
study was analyze the differences between the types productivity of dairy cows in
different governorates during the period (2011-2014), to optimize the quantities
produced from milk cow, the study depends on the descriptive and quantitative
analysis, tables and arithmetic mean, analysis of variance , and post hoc test
(Duncan) to arrange different types of dairy cows, according to the productivity of
the head, on the different provinces, as well as the use of linear numerical
programming model for the redistribution of each type of dairy cows to the governorates of the initial Supreme ranked productive and determined in
accordance with Duncan Test, The study found the following results : significant
differences confirmed statistically in the productivity of dairy cows between
different species, as well as between the various provinces, and there are
significant effect statistically significant overlap between the species and the
provinces, where dairy foreign cows ranked in the first with an average of about
3,4 tons / head, mixture cows of milk in the second place with an average of about
1,93 tons / head, and finally local milk cow's ranked the last with average of
about 0,95 tons / head, according Duncan test results came in first place,
according to the productivity of the head of foreign milk cows 16 governorate are
Nubaria region and the provinces of Menoufia, Ismailia, Cairo, Elsharqia and
Damietta and Qalyubia, Beheira, Sohag, Alexandria and Elgharbia , Qena and
Assiut, Suez and Giza and Dakahlia, also there were 12 governorate ranked in the
first according to the productivity of the head of mixture milk cows sush as
Alexandria and Dakahlia and Elbehera, Qalubia and Elsharqia Giza, Damietta,
Fayoum, Assiut and Menoufia and Elgharbia, Cairo , All the governorates except
Minya and Luxor, Sohag and Qena ranked in the first according to the
productivity local milk cow, as demonstrated by the proposed optimal
distribution results that the percentage of the number of foreign dairy cows
Reached to the maximum in Nubaria area with 63,6% from the total number of
foreign milk cows Egypt, the proportion of the proposed numbers of mixture dairy
cows reached its maximum in the Elsharqia governorate by 24,27% from the total
number of mixture dairy cows, and the local milk cows proposed rate reached its
maximum in Fayoum by 27,51% from the total number of local dairy cows, the
expected production quantities after the re-distribution of cow milk on the first
ranked provinces reached about 404,215,1 tons, with an increase in production
amounted by 23,055,87 tons, so the study is recommended that, the important of
re distribute the different types of dairy cows to first ranked provinces in order to
achieve an increase in the quantities of milk,
