New Technology - Livestock

Abstract

Technological advances have tripled the production potential of European farms since 1960. Major developments have been reported in the reproductive technologies, the nutritive value of feeds, manipulation of metabolism, animal health and in mechanisation. Some of these techniques have now become commercial reality, for others there are prospects for further development and application. Although the improved production and efficiency promised by these techniques will be essential if the human population increases as demographic studies predict, public acceptance will depend on a better understanding of their benefits. Scientists must not only provide solutions to the technical aspects but also satisfactory evidence to the consumers, as to their safety and quality of the product, and at least neutral if not positive effects on animal welfare and the environment.
