Dairying: Using Science to Meet Consumer Needs


Add your own review!

Overview

Dairying once again finds itself at a crossroads. Increasingly, producers and scientists need to harness their knowledge and expertise to meet consumers' demands for quality milk and milk products. This volume discusses how the industry can meet the needs of today's consumer. Scientists, producers, processors and marketeers together with those interested in the wider issues of biotechnology and the environment, present their views on six key areas of debate: cows for lifetime production; management for lifetime production; feeds and feeding; opportunities and impact; identifying the right model for accurate prediction of production; marketing - the myth against milk. The book concludes with a chapter looking at customers and consumers health.
