Danish Red cattle, also known as Red Danish or Red Dane, are a major dairy cattle breed in northern Europe.[1][2] There are 42,599 pedigree cows in Denmark. They can be used as a beef breed once they finish their useful lifetime.[3]
The solid red color of these breeds has helped in making them popular for crossbreeding in tropical countries[9]
with red Zebu dairy breeds like Sahiwal, Red Sindhi and Butana. They are good milk cows, yielding milk with higher butter fat and protein content than the Holstein Friesian does.
