Dairy Farm
Definition: dairy farm
dairy farm: A farm which is principally engaged in milk production. COMMENT: The UK is Europes 3rd largest milk producer, and is limited to an annual production quota of 14.2 billion litres. Although it is largely self-sufficient in milk, related products such as cheese, milk powder, cream and butter are heavily imported and exported between the UK and other EU countries. Running a successful dairy farm requires knowledge of animal husbandry, nutrition, milking technology, and farm management. Farmers should stay updated with the latest research and technology in dairy farming to improve milk production and ensure sustainable practices. Networking with other dairy farmers and attending workshops can provide valuable insights and support.
