Global demand for milk and other dairy products continues to grow.
As a result of this increased consumer demand, the sector’s
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have risen dramatically. It is
therefore crucial that the livestock sector reacts to these
developments and considers areas for improvement that could reduce
the sector’s contribution to climate change. Advances in
sustainable dairy cattle nutrition provides a comprehensive review
of the wealth of research on recent advances in understanding and
improving dairy cattle nutrition to reduce the carbon footprint of
the dairy sector. This collection explores the role of nutritional
requirements in optimising gut function and overall animal health,
as well as its influence on milk yield and quality. Chapters also
review the use of dietary supplements, such as plant extracts and
direct-fed microbials (DFM) to optimise dairy cattle nutrition.
