Importance of animal origin foods and trends of consumption Given their high nutrient density, animal-origin foods have been staples of the human diet along our evolutionary history. Indeed, evidence of meat and bone marrow consumption in hominins can be traced back to around 2.5-2.8 million years ago (De Heinzelin et al., 1999, Thompson et al., 2019). On the other hand, milk from ruminants was introduced into our diets more recently, at least 8500...

Global drivers impacting food production and consumption The agricultural sector is faced with the daunting challenge of producing food for a growing global population, which is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100 (UN WPP 2019), with sub-Saharan African countries accounting for more than half of the growth of the world’s population between 2019 and 2050 (Figure 1; UN WPP 2019). Figure 1: ...

U.S. dairy and livestock trends point to a decline in methane emissions. While the greenhouse gas has been used by climate change activists to clobber animal agriculture, science points to a different trend.
Methane as a greenhouse gas has long been the Achilles’ heel for activists to attack animal agriculture. That appears to be shifting as scientific discovery suggests a reduction in atmospheric methane over the United States.

In the conferences and publications that I have published over the years, I mainly dealt with the economic benefits that may arise from the proper installation and operation of the means to dissipate the heat generated by the cows.
The purpose of this article is to raise awareness that the inability to cope with heat stress is of financial...

Those days are long gone when cows were enclosed within a pen to restrain their movement. Now they are set free at the farm until brought inside the milking area. As for the milking of cows is concerned, it is no longer a back-breaking job.
Nowadays, milking is done with the help of robotic automation, without involving humans. This method significantly alleviates the workload of dairy farmers.
Growth in...

Milk is one of Mother Nature’s most perfect foods; however, milk quality is jeopardized when it contains life-threatening pathogens. Through science-based knowledge, procedures have been developed to make milk safer for the consumer without losing its nutritional value. Pasteurization kills harmful bacteria by heating milk to a specific temperature for a set period, eliminating microorganisms responsible for diseases such as listeriosis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and...
