This study examined fifty-four dairy farms in five regions, namely Region II (Cagayan Valley), Region III (Central Luzon), Region IV-A (CALABARZON), Region X (Northern Mindanao), and Region XI (Davao Region) to characterize the herd profile, milk production, and feeding variables. Results showed that dairy farms in CALABARZON had the largest herd size and population of milking cows, the highest milk production, and high efficiency in labor and mechanization. Dairy farms in Cagayan Valley and Davao Region have the lowest herd size, milk yield, and cows per worker. Cagayan Valley dairy farms had the most expensive farm gate price of raw milk while Davao Region had the cheapest. Most farms use a combination of indoor feeding and grazing management system. Farms in Northern Mindanao and Cagayan Valley have the largest grazing area and land for cut and carry system, respectively. ‘Pakchong’ napier (Pennisetum purpureum x P. glaucum), kakawate (Gliricidia sepium), napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), rice straw, and brewer’s spent grains were the predominant feed resources. The herd profile, production, and feeding variables in the surveyed dairy farms of the five regions are influenced by geography, climate, and regional economy, among other factors.
