31^st European Nutrition and Dietetics Conference

Animal and Dairy Nutrition

Animal nutrition deals with nutritional benefits on consumption of dairy products genetically modified animal nutrition, meats and fish and also a section view to farm environment. Billions of people around the world consume milk and dairy products every day. Not only are milk and dairy products a vital source of nutrition for these people, but they also present livelihoods opportunities for farmers, processors, shopkeepers and other stakeholders in the dairy value chain. But to achieve this, consumers, industry and governments need up-to-date information on how milk and dairy products can contribute to human nutrition and how dairying and dairy-industry development can best contribute to increasing food security and alleviating poverty.  The rapid rise in aggregate consumption of meat and milk is propelled by millions of people with rising incomes diversifying from primarily starch-based diets into diets containing growing amounts of dairy and meat industry. The underlying forces driving these trends are set to continue, and the potential for increased demand for livestock products remains vast in large parts of the developing world.
