Overview
The
ethical obligations associated with dairy production include
a strong emphasis on animal well-being. As science and
practical experience expand our understanding of dairy
animal well-being, producers continue to improve animal
care and management practices. The National Dairy Animal
Well-Being Initiative has developed broad principles and
guidelines that dairy animal well-being programs should
include to meet our ethical obligations. These principles
and guidelines are summarized here and expanded in the
remainder of this document. |
