Milk production depends on the total bovine population, specifically the ratio of milch animals and their average yield per lactation cycle. The total yield Y can be expressed as Y=тИС(NiтАЛ├ЧAiтАЛ), where NiтАЛ is the number of animals of breed i and AiтАЛ is the average annual yield per animal. Uttar Pradesh benefits from a high base of both indigenous and crossbred bovine populations.
