The obtained results showed that the cows with a dry period of 45, 46 and 59 days, had the highest milk yield at 305-day. So, increasing the dry period lead to an increase in milk yield of subsequent lactation. Furthermore, the total milk production was increased gradually from 3 to 7 years, after that it decreased. Also to evaluate the effect of teat dipping on dairy cow's milk production in the period from first of July till end of September, 2011; the data obtained from sixteen dairy cows (Holstein Frisian), divided into 2 groups, group A (n= 8) wherethe udder washed, dried with a clean toilet tissues and the teats dipped in 70% ethyl alcohol solution, while group B (n=8) without teat dipping. The results revealed that the teat dipping after milking decrease the incidence of mastitis and increase milk yield.
