PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LEVELS OF INDUSTRIALISATION IN UK DAIRY HERDS (2 June 2010)
Motion Details
That this House is aware of the pressures building within the agricultural and related industries in the UK towards greater levels of industrialisation in UK dairy farming, with the direct consequence of growing numbers of cows being kept indoors for most of their lives; and notes the 2009 Report of the European Food Safety Authority, which concluded that the factory farming of dairy cows should end, not least because such breeding and practices for higher milk yields are major factors causing poor health and welfare in dairy herds.
