Abstract: The attention given to the cattle/ cow breeding and exploitation derives from the capacity of producing one of the most important and complex food: milk and dairy products. Generally, animal breeding and particularly, cattle breeding come with serious structural issues due to the excessive fragmentation of the property, low levels of productivity and last, but not least, to the high values recorded by the self-consumption within the farms. All these difficulties were mirrored by the dramatic decrease in the livestock registered between 1990 and 2013, from 6.3 million to merely 2 million cattle. However the dynamics of milk production recorded values inversely proportional to the livestock dynamics as the medium production obtained increased from 2.063 l per cow fed in 1990 to 3.529 l per cow fed in 2013
