In the original article [1] there was a mistake in the published version of Tables 2 and 3; information about The Netherlands was missing in both Tables 2 and 3. The corrected Table 2 and Table 3 appear below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.

Table 2. The linear trend of milk yield (kg) per animal per year for each country between 1961 and 2018. The list of countries is limited to the world’s top high milk-producing countries for which we were able to provide sufficient and reliable data on the length of productive life.

Table 3. The linear trend of the length of productive life (year) in each country. The list of countries is limited to the world’s top high milk-producing countries for which we were able to provide sufficient and reliable data on the length of productive life.

The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused. The change does not affect the scientific results. The manuscript will be updated, and the original will remain online on the article webpage.
