- Summary:
- Completing a trilogy that has already dealt with pigs and poultry, Blair (land and food systems, U. of British Columbia-Vancouver) presents information on how to feed both dairy and beef cattle so that the milk and meat produced meet the various though similar organic standards across the industrialized world. After an introduction and background, he discusses aims and principles of organic cattle production, elements of cattle nutrition, ingredients for organic diets, breeds for organic production, and feeding organic cattle.
