Milksolids decreased from 383 kilograms in 2013/14 to 378 in 2014/15, while the percentage of milksolids increased from 8.54 to 8.63. This was a record level of milk composition. The average herd somatic cell count dropped to 182,000 cells/millilitre for 2014/15 – the second consecutive season that it has dropped below 190,000 cells/millilitre. Average days in milk at 273 in 2014/15 was higher than the previous two seasons, but similar to 2010/11 and 2011/12.

ii) Monthly averages • Highest average production per cow per day occurred in October The seasonal average figures presented in Table 4.5 are calculated using national monthly herd test averages, and are therefore affected by the number of samples processed. Statistics for May, June, and July are based on far fewer cows than the statistics for the other months, as only a few herds (generally winter milk herds) test in these months. Differences in climate between regions (which in turn can affect the mating period), available feed, and cow condition are reflected in differing months of peak production. All cows herd tested in each month were included, provided they were tested at least once during the season (Table 4.5). Average peak cow production occurs between August and October, with regions in the mid to lower South Island peaking in October.
