Organic farming

Organic dairy farming produces milk to meet growing consumer demand for organic milk and dairy products. 

The concept of organic production is very all-embracing: a whole system that optimizes sustainability and livestock welfare, integrating livestock production with growing food and feed crops.

For cows to produce “organic” milk, their feed ration, which includes pasture and forage, must be organically produced. Sustaining animal health in an organic dairy farming system requires establishing and maintaining standard preventive practices, including optimum nutrition, low stress living conditions, and a reasonable level of biosecurity.
