Download or read book Dairy Farming in the 21st Century written by Bruce A. Scholten and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Awarded honourable mention for the 2024 GFASG Book Award. How do we achieve food security for a global population now over 7 billion people and trending towards 10 billion by 2050? This study of the global dairy industry examines how to balance our needs with those of animals and the environment. It scrutinises ruminant bovines' worrying exhaling of methane, a greenhouse gas which, fortunately, evidence shows can be reduced by adding seaweed to cattle feed. Are the multi-thousand-cow mega-dairies of the USA appropriate models for Africa and Asia's high-growth dairy regions, where so many women are smallholders? Is it ethical to keep cows in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), eating unnatural high-energy/low fibre diets when they prefer grazing pasture? Other issues include hormones for oestrus stimulation, and GMOs for milk yield, stressing cows' immune systems and drastically shortening longevity. This book offers multifaceted discussion of the central and ancillary issues relevant to dairying, and consumption of plant- and laboratory-based foods in the 21st century. No book to date offers such a comprehensive overview, linking ethics, environment, health and policy-making with in-depth coverage of the major dairy farming regions of the world.

Book excerpt: "How do we achieve food security for a global population now in excess of 7 billion people and trending towards 10 billion by 2050? As our eco-footprint increases it is difficult to balance our needs with those of animals and the environment. This study of the global dairy industry provides a telling story of the issues involved. Are the multi-thousand mega-dairies of the USA, which are increasingly evident elsewhere, more climate friendly than traditional farms? Is it ethical to keep cows confined in this way - which involves the use of confined animal feeding operation (CAFOs), high stocking density, unnatural high-energy/low fibre diets of totally mixed rations (TMR), hormones for estrus stimulation, GMO hormone for milk yield, leading to stress, depleted immune systems and drastically shortened lives of the cows. What are the implications for rural communities? Bruce Scholten's book will offer an in-depth and detailed discussion of the central and ancillary issues relevant to dairy farming and consumption in the 21st century, presenting the arguments of all sides involved. No book to date offers such a comprehensive overview, linking ethics, environment, health and policy-making with in-depth coverage of the major dairy farming regions of the world."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, part of a series of OECD studies which investigate trade policies, agricultural production and their impact on the environment, focuses on the dairy sector in OECD countries. Chapters discuss a range of issues including: the environmental impacts of dairy farming in terms of water pollution, greenhouse gases, soil quality, water use and biodiversity; the structure and practices of dairy production; agricultural support policies; the consequences of further trade liberalisation and the likely expansion of milk production; economic instruments, command and institutional policy measures; and competitiveness issues, including the effect of manure management regulations. The report contains agri-environmental indicators for the dairy sector, and also considers policies that OECD governments, particularly in Europe, have introduced to promote organic milk production and their impact on trade flows.
Download or read book Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2013 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.
Download or read book Managing High Grade Dairy Cows in the Tropics written by John Moran and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dairy consumption in Asia has more than doubled over the last 25 years, and has led to more than 50% of the world’s total dairy imports now entering Asian markets. Consequently, Asian countries are seeking to improve their self-sufficiency in dairy produce by developing their local milk industries. Asian livestock importers are looking for increasing numbers of high grade dairy stock from established dairy industries in countries such as Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, a major problem encountered throughout Asia has been the poor performance of these exotic high grade dairy heifers when exported from their country of origin to a new, more stressful environment. This has been due to a failure to prepare for their introduction. Exotic dairy cows, particularly those from farms with high levels of herd performance, have high management requirements. If subjected to local and traditional small holder dairy farm practices, they are unlikely to produce acceptable yields of milk or may not even get back into calf. Poor management practices can lead to low growth rates, delayed breeding, stock diseases and even deaths among imported stock both before and after first calving. Managing High Grade Dairy Cows in the Tropics addresses the entire range of management practices found on tropical small holder dairy farms, highlighting those which are likely to adversely impact on heifer and cow performance, hence farm profitability. It is a companion volume to three other manuals written by John Moran: Rearing Young Stock on Tropical Dairy Farms in Asia, Tropical Dairy Farming and Business Management for Tropical Dairy Farmers.
Download or read book Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Dairy Farms written by Santiago García-Yuste and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Dairy Farms presents an innovative environmental proposal. While chiefly focusing on dairy farms, the environmental solution it describes is applicable to the entire livestock sector. The book is divided into five chapters, the first of which addresses the carbon footprint of dairy farms. Chapter two provides an overview of the animal production system, focusing on the physiology of the ruminant stomach and the greenhouse gases emitted by dairy cows. In turn, the third chapter covers dairy farm systems, explaining both intensive and extensive husbandry systems. The book’s final two chapters present the-state-of-art in CO2 capture, and describe a new and innovative CO2-RFP strategy. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to chemists, biologists, biotechnologists, and researchers active in agriculture and food-related areas, as well as those working in the food and dairy industry.
Download or read book The German Dairy Sector Internationalization Competitiveness Supply Chains written by Johannes Meyer and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Milchwirtschaft ist gemessen am Umsatz die zweitgrößte Branche des deutschen Agribusiness. In den letzten Jahren ist sie durch eine starke Liberalisierung geprägt gewesen, wodurch sie sich einem verschärften Wettbewerb, sowohl im inländischen, als auch auf ausländischen Märkten gegenüber sieht. Gleichzeitig steigen die Anforderungen von Seiten der Politik und Gesellschaft, beispielsweise in Hinblick auf Umweltgesetzgebungen und die gentechnikfreie Fütterung. Die Dissertation untersucht vor diesem Hintergrund sowohl quantitativ als auch qualitativ, wie sich verschiedene Faktoren auf die Milchproduktion in Deutschland auswirken, und leitet hierauf aufbauend zukünftige Entwicklungen ab. In Hinblick auf das sich ändernde Wettbewerbsumfeld untersucht die Dissertation die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der deutschen Milchwirtschaft mit Hilfe der Analyse von Außenhandelsdaten. Darüber hinaus werden die in der deutschen Molkereiwirtschaft vorliegenden Internationalisierungsstrategien identifiziert und deren Einfluss auf den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg mit Hilfe von Paneldatenanalyse auf Basis von Jahresabschlüssen von Molkereiunternehmen analysiert. Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen werden Chancen und Risiken, sowie Möglichkeiten der Umsetzung eines potenziellen Markteintritts in den brasilianischen Milchmarkt analysiert. The German dairy industry is the second largest sector of German agribusiness in terms of turnover. In recent years, it has been characterized by a strong liberalization, which means that it is facing increased competition, both on domestic and foreign markets. At the same time, the demands from politics and society are increasing, for example with regard to environmental legislation and GMO-free feeding. Against this background, the dissertation examines both quantitatively and qualitatively how various factors affect milk production in Germany and derives future developments on this basis. In view of the changing competitive environment, the dissertation examines the international competitiveness of the German dairy industry by analysing foreign trade data. In addition, the internationalization strategies present in the German dairy industry are identified and their influence on economic success is analysed by means of panel data analysis based on annual financial statements of dairy companies. Based on the results, opportunities and risks, as well as possibilities of implementing a potential market entry into the Brazilian dairy market are analysed.

Download or read book Pure and Modern Milk written by Kendra Smith-Howard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have never been more concerned about their food's purity. The organic trade association claims that three-quarters of all consumers buy organic foods each year, spending billions of dollars "Dairy farm families, health officials, and food manufacturers have simultaneously stoked human desires for an all-natural product and intervened to ensure milk's safety and profitability," writes Kendra Smith-Howard. In Pure and Modern Milk, she tells the history of a nearly universal consumer product, and sheds light on America's food industry. Today, she notes, milk reaches supermarkets in an entirely different state than it had at its creation. Cows march into milking parlors, where tubes are attached to their teats, and the product of their lactation is mechanically pumped into tanks. Enormous, expensive machines pasteurize it, fortify it with vitamins, remove fat, and store it at government-regulated temperatures. It reaches consumers in a host of forms: as fluid milk, butter, ice cream, and in apparently non-dairy foods such as whey solids or milk proteins. Smith-Howard examines the cultural, political, and social context, discussing the attempts to reform the production and distribution of this once-perilous product in the Progressive Era, the history of butter between the world wars, dairy waste at mid-century, and the postwar landscape of mass production. She asks how milk could be conceptualized as a "natural" product, even as it has been incorporated into Cheez Whiz and wood glue. And she shows how consumer's changing expectations have had repercussions back down the chain, affecting farmers, cows, and rural landscapes. A groundbreaking, interdisciplinary history, this book reveals the complexity and challenges of humanity's dependence on other species.
