- Summarises latest research on the composition of proteins and components in milk
- Reviews advances in understanding factors affecting milk quality eg. breeding and nutrition
- Discusses current research on genetic factors affecting dairy cattle growth and health as well as ways to optimise breeding to improve the productivity of dairy cows
"Edited by the Director General of the International Dairy Federation, Dr Nico van Belzen, there can be little doubt regarding the scientific quality and likely impact of these volumes… I hope that the books/chapters will find a large audience and, by doing so, help to achieve the sustainability of milk production that the title promises"Journal of Dairy Research
