Beskrivning

As a result of increasing awareness and concern for animal welfare and the dangers of pesticides and antibiotics used in some farming systems, today's consumers are increasingly reaching for organic products at their local stores. Organic Dairy Farming describes the processes, practices, and international regulations that ultimately classify a dairy product as organic. The book compares organic and conventional dairy farming systems across a variety of dairy animals, covering cows, sheep, goats, buffaloes, and camelids. It considers the differences in breed selection, animal welfare, and product quality between conventional and organic farming systems. Finally, the book demonstrates the added nutritional value in the profile of fatty acids in organic milk and milk products. Organic Dairy Farming is written and edited by experts in dairy science, nutrition, consumer science, and food regulation. This work will help direct future research in organic dairy farming and products, or even aid stakeholders in implementing organic practices on dairy farms.
