In pursuit of sustainability in dairy farming: A review of interdependent effects of animal welfare improvement and environmental impact mitigation

2018-11-01

Abstract excerpt

The welfare of dairy cows and their emission potential are two distinct and yet intertwined aspects determining the sustainability of dairy farming. Along with numerous measures to mitigate the sector’s environmental impact, good health and welfare are suggested to keep emission levels low. More recently, scientists in both fields have pointed to potential trade-offs for animal welfare arising from the implementat...
