Description

In most countries transition from conventional to organic dairy production came as a result of two influences: first, as a way of aditional employement, and second, in regions with problems that came as a result of pollution of soil. There are several problems in encouraging producers to practice organic dairy. One of them is health care – prevention and treatment and the other is feeding of cows, both with their limitations and prohibitions. This paper gives a brief review of most common health issues in organic dairy production and feeding through experiences in some countries.
