Problems of Productng Milk Around the World

Department of Dairy Science Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge

ABSTRACT

Problems are encountered in the production of milk in every part of the world. Variations in volume and efficiency of milk production are probably as closely concerned with the success experienced in overcoming the problems as with the nature of the problems themselves. The highly efficient dairy industries of Northern Europe and Great Britain, North America, and Oceana have been made possible by the gradual solution of problems which, if presented without solutions, would appear almost insurmountable. The cold winters of Northern Europe and North America would make it impossible to produce milk efficiently if we did not have effective methods of preserving feedstuffs and of housing and managing animals during that part of the year. Diseases and parasites now under control presented very serious problems to the dairyman in the not too distant past. Problems facing the dairyman of the temperate zone have been solved partially by trial and error by farmers and stockmen and partially by organized research.
