Milk is proved a complete food from latest scientific researchers. Milk and dairy products contain many nutrients and provide quick and easy way of supplying major vital substances in human being life. Due to their importance, their benefits to our bodies, health and mind, but not neglecting the financial aspects, many dairy units and also the processing units have to assure large amounts of good quality milk. The present study is a study case regarding the quantitative and qualitative milk amount in a dairy farm in the south of Romania. The livestock in the studied farm consisted in Holstein-Frisian cows in different stages of lactation, which were statistically analyzed from the milk quality and quantity point of view. During April 2011 and May 2012, based on the primary data recorded in the farm it was established the reproductive livestock, grouping the females in three categories depending on their lactation. There were recorded the cows in lactation and also the dry cows and the dynamic of the milk production was recorded daily and monthly, too. Due to the fact that the milk is processed in a special unit and after that goes to the market, the milk quality parameters were analyzed too. The recorded situation leads to the conclusion that the unit represents a high class unit in the Romanian dairy units.
