Quick Answer

Holstein dairy cows produce the most milk of any domesticated animal, averaging about 10,000 litres per year.

The Full Story

The Holstein-Friesian dairy cow is the world's highest milk producer, with top animals yielding over 20,000 litres per year and average commercial cows producing about 10,000 litres annually. Globally, cows produce the vast majority of the world's roughly 930 million tonnes of annual milk output. Buffalo (particularly in India and Pakistan), goats, and sheep also contribute significantly. In the wild, the blue whale produces about 200 litres of milk per day to feed its calf, the richest mammalian milk at about 50 % fat.
