Efficient cows better for environment, profits

摘要

DAIRY farms with higher-producing cows create smaller carbon footprints and are more profitable, a win-win situation for everyone, including the cows, according to Victor E. Cabrera, a University of Wisconsin-Madison extension professor and dairy systems management specialist."Implementing dairy farm management strategies that increase milk production, decrease the herd replacement rate or improve reproductive efficiency can increase farm profits while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions," Cabrera said.
