Possibly, but would you have time to find out? You'd have to take a round to grapple the cow, then another round to attempt a disarm maneuver against its milk. Assuming you were successful, you'd need to have at least a 3rd level caster to summon it long enough to produce even a bit of milk. And by that level, you can cast ray of milk, so why bother with summon nature's ally?

While the question seems to be in jest... It is a valid rules question.
Other looks at the same question;
- can you get venom from a summoned spider?
- if your summoned wolf gets killed can you use it for meat?
- if you can find a way to summon a little dragon, can you keep the scales to make armor out of later?
- if a summoned spider poisons a foe do they remained poisoned after the summon runs out?

Well, presuming it was producing milk during the time frame in which it was summoned, and not overly traumatized while summoned, it certainly makes sense. But just because it can produce milk doesn't mean it can at that moment. The cow may have already been milked, or have fed its calf. Modern dairy cows produce a lot of milk. They've been bred for it. Feral cattle don't produce nearly as much milk; barely enough for their calf. Milking a summoned cow is going to leave a young hungry calf or a farmer someplace without.

It is explicit only for spells and spell effects, but it seem a logic consequence, especially as it has been explained by the devs that all the creature equipment disappear.
The damage dealt by the poison or disease stay, but unless the microbes had the time do spread a disease would disappear, same thing for the poison in your body.

I'm more curious if we can get a summoned chicken to lay an egg; I'm hungry not thirsty!

It would suck to squeeze some milk from a Summoned cow, then right as you're beginning to drink it, the duration ends and your drink disappears.
.
Summon an eagle for the eggs or a Celestial Eagle for some angel-eggs. Then make deviled eggs with them.

The game Baldur's Gate has been proven that summoned cows will never produce milk ever again

No way am I clicking on that link.
Having not clicked it, yet, I am absolutely confident it is a link to a clip from the film Meet the Parents - not a great film, but with several memorable moments, one of which included the would-be groom (Ben Stiller) making an off-hand comment (relevant to the conversation) about being able to milk "anything with nipples" - he was referring to animals). The father (who hates Stiller's character) then immediately calls him on it in a demeaning way, but noting, "I've got nipples; can you milk me?" or something similar.
Also, it highlights over YouTube and I think YouTube doesn't allow things that are toooooooooo bad, so.
Non-edit: and, yeah, I was basically right.
