Features: After joining the WTO, the international market for grains has become cheaper, which will also reduce the cost of concentrate feed for dairy cows. This is also very beneficial. Opportunities and challenges coexist. Due to the further increase in investment and production efforts by internationally renowned dairy companies in China, the competition in the dairy market will intensify. The competition in the dairy market is essentially a competition for raw milk, because high-quality dairy products come from high-quality raw milk. Without high-quality raw milk, it is impossible to produce high-quality dairy products. Without a doubt, whoever controls more high-quality raw milk will be the winner. This requires dairy farms and households not only to increase milk production but also to improve milk quality. Although the price of beef in China is lower than the international market, cattle farms and households must also implement scientific feeding and management for beef cattle. Only by changing the current situation of low slaughter rates, long production cycles, low output, low feed conversion rates, and high production costs can China quickly adapt to the framework of economic globalization after joining the WTO. For this purpose, we have compiled this "Simple Guide to Dairy Farming" based on the principles of simplicity and practicality, hoping to help dairy farms and households improve their dairy farming technology levels more quickly.
