Abstract: This study was conducted at Magnolia Dairy Farm at Amuyong Ranch, Alfonso, Cavite. Its aim is to determine and to gather information about the management practices employed in the farm as reference to those who like to engage in the business. At the time of the study the farm had 546 milking and 139 dry cows as well as four bulls, mostly Holstein Friesian and Jersey cows. The herd is divided into two main departures. ments: the Growing Stock Department, and the Milking Department. Since the calf is the nucleus of the dairy enterprise care and attention must be given to them. They were fed with milk replacer fortified with vitamins, minerals, and antibiotics. The herd was divided into Yearling and Breeding heifers, the yearlings aging from 13- 18 months and the breeding 18:44 months. It was observed that lactating cows get the first priority when it comes to proper care and feeding of good quality soilage. The housing was preferably a clean, dry pen that was free from drafts. A cold, open building is accommodated in which some portions were left open for natural ventilation. Thinking was done in a pipe-line tandem type milking shed with two milking machines, with at least sixteen cows milked at the time of milking, with an average of six minutes per cow. The average production was 3 U.S. gallons of milk per cow per day and the lowest being 2.72 gallons the highest was 3.3 gallons. During its twelve years of operation Magnolia Farm has shown that under the good nutrition, breeding and management, the temperate dairy cattle produced an acceptable yield of high quality milk in the Philippines.
