The breed is the second most popular dairy breed in France and its numbers are continuing to grow, especially with cheese makers.<\/p><p align=\"LEFT\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700;\">Montbeliardes are good feed converters and maintain good body condition throughout lactation.

They are also noted for high protein production combined with low cell counts and good daughter fertility. Montbeliardes develop into big powerful cows with deep bodies, combined with wide chests and rumps and good muscularity. They have very good legs and feet and functional udders, capable of lasting for many lactations.<\/p><p align=\"LEFT\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;\">The breed was initially developed in Eastern France over 100 years ago and is a hardy cow that is capable of performing well in tough conditions, whilst also being able to produce high yields on high input systems.<\/p><p align=\"LEFT\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700;\">The Montbeliarde produces high protein milk, low cell counts and good daughter fertility and combines very good legs and feet with functional, long lasting udders.<\/span><\/p><p align=\"LEFT\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;\">The mature Montbeliarde cow is comparable in weight to the Holstein, but with more muscularity. There is quite a lot of variation within the breed and the bulls\u2019 linear proofs allow farmers to breed for the type of cow they need. The breed produces a valuable cull cow and bull calf. It is wise to choose an easy calving bull when using Montbeliardes on heifers.<\/p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: 400;

BS efficiently utilizes forage to produce high-quality milk. Brown Swiss milk is particularly suitable for cheese production thanks to its high kappa-casein B content. Thanks to this quality, it contributes to the good reputation of Braunvieh as a cheese breed. This is because the kappa-casein BB in the milk offers a higher yield of cheese than AA milk.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 30px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: itc-officina-sans-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1.08px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;\">Brown Swiss milk is rich in fat. This is essential for the taste of milk and cheese. Brown Swiss milk is especially known for its high protein content. The ratio of fat to protein must be equal to or higher than 1.15 for good cheesemaking. With a ratio of 1.22, Brown Swiss positions itself in the leading trio in France, for example.<\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 30px; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: itc-officina-sans-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1.08px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;\"><span style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: 700; color: rgb(120, 104, 85);\">Is Brown Swiss milk more digestible?<\/span><br style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Beta-casein makes up 30% of milk protein and also includes two types: A1 and A2. Some scientific studies highlight the following fact: A2 milk is easier to digest, while A1 milk is harder to digest. It could possibly even be responsible for milk intolerance. In many countries \u2013 including Switzerland \u2013 A2 milk is already available on the market. The proportion of A2 milk in Brown Swiss milk is very high.<br style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><\/p><span style=\"color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: itc-officina-sans-pro, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: 1.08px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-4);\">In Switzerland, the A2 frequency is 78.5% with 62% A2A2.<\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Importing Dairy Cattle Breeds Montbeliarde The Montbeliarde breed has been a very popular choice for cross breeding in North America and Europe in recent years.
