Presentation & goals of the project
Goals of the study
To describe the diversity of dairy feeding systems worldwide
Develop a continuous process for improving the knowledge on animal feeding in the dairy sector
To provide a starting point for discussions and development of recommendations on environmental, sustainability, food safety and nutrition issues.
To provide useful development data for the dairy and feed industry
Presentation & goals of the project
3 approaches...IDF has worked jointly with FAO and IFCN using different
approaches:
IDF approach is aimed at assessing feeding systems diversity and their relative importance in a country.
FAO approach is aimed at developing country-wise feed basket for different ruminant species to assess green house gas emissions animal species and animal product wise globally.
IFCN approach aimed at the economics and feed efficiency analysis of typical farms in participating countries

IDF approach:diversity of the feeding systems worldwide
MethodologyA data survey has been designed by the partner organizations
involved in the project (IDF, FAO and IFCN).
The questionnaire was divided in three parts:
Part #1: general overview of the national milk production.
Part #2: average stucture of dairy farms in the country (number of cows, milk yield, fat and protein contents).
Part #3: diversity of feeding systems identified by each country with their own criteria (farm size, climate, etc.)
IDF approach:diversity of the feeding systems worldwide
Results 25 countries answered the questionnaire. 20 answers
have been taken into account.
Three examples:
• France: 5 different feeding systems identified
=> region
• Japan: 3 different feeding systems identified
=> size
• South Africa: 3 different feeding systems identified
=> feeding system
Between 1 and 5 feeding systems identified / country

IDF approach:diversity of the feeding systems worldwide
Conclusion IDF approach allows us to have an overview of the
different feeding systems within a country but also makes possible comparisons between countries.
It attempts to explain the technical diversity of feeding systems in the dairy sector worldwide.
It is has proven to be a complex task issue because of the large number of parameters that identify different feeding systems (herd size, breed, forage availability, etc) and the different weight they have in different environments ( region, climatic zones, etc.)
IDF approach:diversity of the feeding systems worldwide
Importance of a consolidated IDF-IFCN-FAO report of approaches and results
The process developed (method, questionnaires, partners identified, etc) is useful for new work and available to dairy and feed industries
The results being synthesized into a comprehensive monograph will be a source of information for new developments of the dairy or feed industry.
These results could be very useful for new studies attempting to relate feeding systems to changes in milk quantity and quality.
Thank youfor your attention
