Organic dairy farming: towards sustainability

About this book

Ruminants play a key role in organic systems, due to their ability to use grassland resources, legumes from crop rotations and crop residues, and to supply manure for the soil. Grassland-based milk production therefore is likely to be the most sustainable system for dairy cattle in organic agriculture. However, digestion of fibre is a prominent source of enteric methane production with negative ecological impact, thereby raising an apparent ecological dilemma. This chapter examines challenges of organic dairy farming and proposes a number of solutions, including approaches based on integrated dairy and beef production, roughage-based feeding systems, breeding strategies, and improving animal health and welfare.
