There are approximately 62,000 organic dairy cattle in the UK. Organic dairy production aims to produce healthy, good quality milk in an ecologically responsible way, for which the farmer gets a fair return. The organic approach is designed to deliver positive health throughout soils, plants and crops through to the animal, avoiding the need for agrochemicals and routine antibiotics, while contributing positively to the environment and wildlife. Organic farmers apply management practices that aim to maintain optimum herd health.
