Define dry cow in animals production ?

A dry cow in animal production refers to a female cow that is not currently producing milk. This period typically occurs during the last two months of pregnancy, as the cow prepares for calving and the start of a new lactation cycle. During this time, the cow is not milked and is given a break from the demands of milk production in order to rest and prepare for the upcoming calving and lactation period. Proper management of dry cows is important for their health and productivity in the next lactation cycle.
