Farm management and extension needs in CEE under the restriction of the EU milk quota
Authors: Edited by Abele Kuipers, Marija Klopcic and Arunas Svitojus
EAAP Technical Series no. 8
The introduction of a quota system has a large impact on the development of the agricultural sector, the agro-business and individual farms. In April 2004 the Central and Eastern European (CEE) Countries entering the EU had to implement a quota system for milk. It requires institution building, setting up administrative procedures, choices of the system, choice of priority groups, handling of butterfat reference, dealing with a national reserve, control aspects, quota transfer, farm management aspects and communication to farmers.

Feed into Milk - A new applied feeding system for dairy cows
Authors: Edited by C Thomas
Strategic research in ruminant nutrition has greatly improved our understanding of the processes involved in the conversion of feed to milk. However, the lack of an up to date framework to incorporate this knowledge into support systems has meant that much of the technology has not been transferred into practice in a way that can aid the sustainability of milk production systems.

Indicators of milk and beef quality
Authors: Editors: J.F. Hocquette and S. Gigli
The farming and agri-food sectors are faced with an increasing demand by consumers for high-quality products.The current major questions are thus how to define quality, and how to increase the quality of animal products to satisfy these new requirements.

Knowledge transfer in cattle husbandry
Authors: Edited by Abele Kuipers, Marija Klopcic and Cled Thomas
New management practices, attitudes and adaptation
This book addresses the principles of knowledge transfer and presents a wide scale of applications. Effective knowledge utilization requires that insights developed in the animal sciences are combined with social science approaches. That is accomplished in this book. The applications focus on the adoption of new management practices in cattle husbandry. In animal sciences the emphasis is generally on the technical and zoological know-how.

Lameness in Cattle
Authors: Chris Watson
Forward by David Logue
Lameness is the third most economically important disease affecting cattle today, and the single most important welfare issue, especially for the housed dairy cow. The responsibility for dealing with it can fall on everyone involved in the industry, from the stockperson right through to the veterinary surgeon. This book is essential for anyone involved in the day-to-day practical health care of cattle.

Livestock farming systems
Authors: Edited by R. Rubino, L. Sepe, A. Dimitriadou and A. Gibon
Product quality based on local resources leading to improved sustainability
Livestock farming increasingly means much more than just food production and product quality is no longer simply synonymous with food safety and the provision of energy and protein nutrients. This book examines the variety of reasons for this shift in thinking and provides a basis for a new approach to livestock farming systems. The topical issues for product quality based on local resources are addressed from a variety of angles, including genomics, land use, the consumer preference and human nutrition.

Mastitis in dairy production: Current knowledge and future solutions
Authors: Edited by H. Hogeveen
Worldwide, mastitis is still one of the most important diseases in the dairy sector. Being a multifactorial disease, caused by multiple pathogens, control remains a difficult issue. Mastitis not only affects the health of milk-producing animals, having consequences for the profitability of dairy farms, it also affects the animal welfare. Moreover, mastitis negatively influences the milk quality having consequences for the dairy processing industry. In other words: mastitis affects a large part of the dairy production chain.
