Advances in Organic Dairy Cattle Farming

“This 400-page book explores how organic dairy farming addresses challenges including environmental impact, animal welfare and antibiotic resistance. The book is aimed at academics, international policy professionals and organic farmers seeking research-based guidance, however it would also be a valuable addition to undergraduate reading lists in food science, biological sciences and agriculture. This is a timely and well-written resource.” (Book Review Published in the International Journal of Dairy Technology)

“Advances in organic dairy cattle farming is in the familiar and appealing style of the rest of the Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science: physically robust, well organised, and well referenced. The book is coherently structured, and although stylistically the chapters differ from each other, all seem to be scientifically rigorous. The authors seem generally to have been open and honest about the challenges presented by the often quite restrictive requirements for organic farming, and the inevitable trade-offs among greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, animal welfare and profitability. The book provides a good overview of the state of organic production and is well worth reading.” (Book Review Published in the Journal of Dairy Research)
