The paper presents the chracteristics of development of milk production in the EU states and the changes in cows,' traits as well as the basis for achieving the high productivity of herds along with successful economic results. The basic development changes in the production of milk in Slovenia are heading in the same direction. In the period from 1983 untill 1993 the number of farms, selling the milk to dairies, decreased for 33 %, especially considering the farms having up to 4 cows (-42 %), but the number of farms that have 15 or more cows has been increasing. The best farms have been selling over 6.000 kg of milk per cow per year, but most of them have been selling from 2.000 to 3.000 kg. Most of the breeders adjusted the quality of milk quite rapidly to the European norms. In November 1994, the purchased milk contained the average of 3.98 % of fats and 3.26 of proteins, while 53 % of milk had been ranged within the extra quality class. This fact leads to a conclusion that, under adequate administration, Slovenia is bound to enter the European competition rapidly.
