Abstract

Application of the technologies of genetic engineering in the dairy industry will begin within 5 years, probably with the use of bovine somatotropin as a lactation stimulant. There are several other likely developments which may manipulate the animal, the plant or the rumen micro-organism to increase or diversify production or to decrease milking frequency. To take full advantage of increased potential milk production, ways to minimise the seasonality of feed supply must be developed.
