Jersey cows are milk producers chemicals are not given to produce the milk. The products are inspected very heavily by government officials before the it reaches the consumer. There are many breed of cows some of which are more for beef consumption. Cattle raisers are not praised nearly enough or recognized for their efforts it is an occupation that is risky and one fights not only the natural elements but that of a volital market and government regulations. That is why so many of the independants have been forced from this business to another and most of what remains are corporations. It was much more economical to allow supply and demand to control this market.

Jersey cows are the heaviest milkers for their size and weight . It has nothing to do with more chemicals given to them.
They are (for the most part) easy keepers, most affordable cow to keep, and thus one of the most popular cows today, espeically for small farm milking.
Holstiens give more milk per cow then an average Jersey, which is why large producing dairy farms often choose to use them over a Jersey, however, according to their weight and size, Jerseys would give a larger %.
Hope that helps

A small, honey-brown breed of dairy cattle, the Jersey is renowned for the high butterfat content of its milk, as well as a genial disposition.
The Jersey cow is quite small, ranging from only 800 to 1200 pounds (360 to 540 kg), but by some measures it produces more milk per unit of body weight than any other breed, and has the highest feed-to-milk conversion efficiency of any dairy breed. Bulls are also small, ranging from 1200 to 1800 pounds (540 to 820 kg), and are notoriously aggressive.
Jersey cattle being judged at a show in Jersey, home of the breedDue to the small size, curious docile character and attractive features of the Jersey cow, small herds were imported into England by aristocratic landowners as props for aesthetic landscapes. Among famous owners of Jersey cows was Prince Felix Yussupov who bought a cow in Jersey to add to his collection of exotic pets.
*Brown Bessie, the famous champion butter cow of the Chicago World's Fair dairy test, averaged over 40 pounds (18 kg) of milk a day for five months, and made 3 pounds (1.3 kg) of butter a day several times.

Are you sure you don't mean Jersey cows? Or Guernsey?
Those are good breeds of milk cows, but they give a lot of milk even without chemicals given to them.
Have you done a search to see if there is any research on this?

Jarsi cows are the cows that are known for producing high quantity of milk . The jarsi cows are given birth by a normal cow . for the birth of a jarsi cow the normal cow is injected by some chemicals . but the cow which gives birth to a jarsi cow becomes useless due to the chemical injected i mean to say its health goes on declining . the jarsi cows are bought up by special food given to them they produce more quantity of milk than the normal cows but by but by quality compariosion the milk of jarsi cow is less comparative is less qualitative as compared to normal cow and its also sold at a cheaper rate as compared to milk of a normal cows.

I think what you are talking about are 'Jersey Cows' - which is a breed that is named after the island of Jersey which is in the Channel Islands under British jurisdiction. They are in fact closer to France. The cow is noted for its high yield of creamy milk but I know nothing of chemicals given. It is a fawn, creamy colour with a dark face..............

Jersey Cows are small cows known for producing large quantities of milk because of their genetics, not because of chemicals given to them. Many farms give Bovine Growth Hormone to their cows to increase milk production. This hormone can be used with any breed of cow, not just Jerseys.

Jersey
Jersey cows are the second most popular breed in the state. They weigh about 900 pounds and give about 4.5 gallons or 39 pounds of milk per day, the largest ratio of pounds of milk per pounds of body weight of any cattle breed. They mature earlier than other breeds and are brown in color, ranging from light to dark, occasionally having white spots. Their milk is rich and creamy. Jerseys came to Vermont in the 1850's from the British island of Jersey.
Guernsey
Guernsey cows are an orange-red breed often having white legs and white areas on the body. They weigh about 1100 pounds. Guernseys give about 4.6 gallons or 39 pounds of milk per day. They are noted for their rich golden milk due to a high betacarotene, Vitamin A, content. This breed is from the Isle of Guernsey in the English Channel. Guernseys were brought to the United States in the 1840's.
