Towards a sustainable Australian dairy industry

In a recent Dean's Research Seminar, "Towards a sustainable Australian dairy industry", Professor Peter Mansell discussed the veterinary expertise that will assist dairy producers to face whatever challenges arise in future decades.
The Australian dairy industry has been through significant structural changes over recent decades and has dealt with multiple and varied challenges in that time. The industry is a major supplier of food for domestic consumption and is also a significant source of export value for the Australian economy. But dairy farmers in the 2020s face markedly different issues to the last generation. The sustainability of the Australian dairy industry requires focussed research of practical benefit to dairy producers underpinned by local research supported by local advisers.
