Abstract The second edition of this book contains 7 chapters that describe the introductory concepts of cattle nutrition, the aims and principles of organic cattle production, the elements of cattle nutrition, ingredients for organic diets, cattle breeds for organic production, integration of feeding programmes into organic production systems and conclusions and recommendations for the future of nutrition of cattle in organic beef and milk production systems. It provides an important source of peer-reviewed references on the organic feeding of cattle from the international scientific literature. Details on permitted feed ingredients, with an emphasis on those grown or available locally, and on suitable dietary formulations are included in the book. It will be of interest to the advisory personnel that service the organic milk and beef industries, researchers, university and college teachers, students, veterinarians, regulatory agencies, feed manufacturers and feed supply companies.

Earlier work showed that red clover silage has considerable potential for milk production (e.g. Thomas et al., 1985), though low digestibility and difficulties ensiling clovers were seen as problems that needed to be addressed. Advances in legume breeding and conservation technology as well as a renewed emphasis on extensive organic production systems within Agenda 2000 meant that it was timely to reconsider the potential of legume silages for milk production.

A common problem of dairy cattle in all production systems and production directions is their reduced production life and therefore their reduced lifetime span. Among the main reasons of dairy cattle premature culling the problems related to reproduction, udder and legs are prevailing. The order of these reasons according to their significance is not the same in all dairy cattle populations and depends on production direction, level of production and specific technology of cattle breeding. There are also other reasons of culling but these three groups are the main ones. Due to frequency of their incidence, as well as economic damage which they can cause in dairy cattle production, today they must be taken into account when defining breeding goals for certain breeds and populations of cattle.

Organic Milk Production

Рассмотрены перспективы развития органического молочного скотоводства в Российской Федерации, обусловленные вступлением в действие закона «Об органической продукции». Проанализированы факторы, способствующие развитию производства органического молока: возможность реализации эффекта масштаба, организация производства на необрабатываемых в течение ряда лет землях, свободных от остаточных проявлений интенсивной обработки, благоприятная конъюнктура внутреннего рынка, государственная поддержка экспорта. Определены основные сдерживающие факторы: отсутствие апробированных и адаптированных к региональным условиям технологий; усиление требований к качеству планирования и контроля; дефицит квалифицированных специалистов, имеющих опыт производства органической продукции; отсутствие узнаваемости бренда, негарантированность получения высокой ценовой премии. Исследованы возможности инновационных цифровых технологий в повышении производительности и результативности труда специалистов в кормопроизводстве и молочном скотоводстве, в обеспечении прослеживаемости и управляемости производственно-хозяйственного процесса в отрасли, контроля соответствия сырья и продукции требованиям к органическому производству. The article considers the prospects for the development of organic dairy farming in the Russian Federation, due to the entry into force of the law «On Organic Products». Factors contributing to the development of organic milk production were analyzed: the possibility of realizing economies of scale, the organization of production on uncultivated lands for several years, free from residual effects of intensive processing, favorable situation on the domestic market, government support for exports. Identified the main constraints: the lack of tested and adapted to regional conditions technologies; increased requirements for quality planning and monitoring; the shortage of qualified specialists with experience in organic production; lack of brand recognition, non-guaranteed high price premium. The article explores the possibilities of innovative digital technologies to improve the productivity of specialists in fodder production and dairy farming, provide traceability and manageability of production and economic process in the industry, control of compliance of raw materials and products with the requirements for organic production.

Organic milk production is an environmentally friendly production system based on local forage and a ban on using chemical fertilizers and certain other rules. Organic milk is considered to be healthier and is gaining attention worldwide. The market for organic products is increasing. The aim of the paper was to analyze changes in the development of organic dairy production in Poland in the context of the EU. We analyzed the changes on the European Union (EU) level and the Poland level. To analyze the changes in organic milk production on European Union level, we used the autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA). Our results show that both organic milk production and the farm area used for organic production will increase. Moreover, we analyzed the organic dairy farms running rural accountancy within the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) in Poland in the years 2007–2018. We used tabular and graphic methods to present the data. In the analysis the methods of correlation and regression were used. Germany, France, Austria, and Great Britain are the countries with the largest numbers of organic dairy cows. Our prognosis examined the development of organic milk production in the European Union (EU). The number of cows on dairy organic farms will increase in most countries in the EU. Then, we analyzed the impact of the chosen factors on three dependent variables: organic milk production, total production of organic dairy farms, and income from family farms. The most important independent variables were cow numbers, the value of fixed assets, the value of current assets, long-term debt, and short-term debt.

At this point, dairy farming is a system-forming branch of the agricultural business, which allows efficient transfer of innovative technologies to the agro-industrial complex as a whole, and the issue of organic production, including milk and dairy products, is now becoming more and more apparent. With the law "On organic products” coming into effect, new opportunities are presented for agricultural producers of all forms of ownership, and the production of organic milk can become one of the drivers of the dairy farming development in Russia. Organic production in Russia began to form a special segment of the agricultural market, which is distinguished, on the one hand, by the increased cost of production in comparison with traditional technologies. On the other hand, its high marginality contributes to the entry of new players into the market, the emergence of various forms of collaboration and the attraction of large investments with state support. This is facilitated by the growth of commercial milk production, the development of the legal framework, state regulation and financial support for agricultural producers, and the commissioning of new certified enterprises for the production of organic milk with high margins. The purpose of the research was to analyze the domestic and foreign organic milk markets, as well as to consider the pros and cons of organic production in the modern market. The article deals with issues significant to both worldwide and Russian organic milk production, it also presents the basic principles of certification and regulation of the market, and talks about problems of pricing and consumption.

Basic principles that inform organic livestock production are reviewed in this paper, with special emphasis on milk and meat production in cattle and sheep. Research findings to date are presented on the impact of various management practices, both organic and conventional, as they effect product yield and quality. The importance of incorporating autochnochous breeds into organic milk and meat production systems is particularly emphasized. Additionally, a global overview of organic milk and meat production is given, along with an assessment of opportunities for implementing organic production systems in Serbia.
