Cattle breeding is a very important branch of agriculture because it provides a large volume of animal products needed by humans, a large share of raw material for the food industry and light industry. The achievement of increased production and higher quality in line with market requirements is the focus of livestock specialists who, through their research work, contribute to the improvement and refinement of breeding, maintenance, feeding and breeding technologies. The present study aimed to analyse the influence of the feed ration administered to cattle, in a dairy cow breeding farm in the South-Eastern Romania, on milk production but also the economic calculation of feed costs to obtain one litre of milk. The ration is designed and formulated according to the needs of the cattle categories, their health, productive performance and age.
