It also examines the comparative strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing the world’s leading dairy companies. Benchmark your performance against the leading dairy companies using market share and financial data in this report…
Key findings from this report…
- The global dairy industry is highly fragmented, with the top 10 companies representing about 22.4% of the total market size in 2006.
- The global dairy market reached $402.5bn in 2006, representing a five-year CAGR of 3.7% and it is forecast to reach about $487.2bn in 2011, representing a five-year CAGR of 4.9%.
- The leading dairy companies are focussing innovation on organic and functional dairy. Other latest developments have included products that are low fat, contain natural ingredients and no preservatives.
- Nestlé was the global industry leader with a 5.0% market share in 2006, followed by Danone (2.5%) and Dean Foods (2.4%).
- Parmalat’s dairy business recorded revenues of R3,546m ($4,861m) for the fiscal year ended December 2007, an increase of 6.1% over 2006. Higher revenues in fiscal 2007 were mainly due to higher sales volume in Canada and Italy. The dairy revenues accounted for 91.8% of its consolidated revenues in 2007.
Some key issues answered by this report…
- Growing demand for dairy products in Asia is driving global milk prices. The increase in demand has been fuelled by population growth, increases in personal income and Western-style influences on the Asian diet (demand for non-native foods such as cheese slices, yogurt and skimmed milk among young urbanites).
- Contracting European supply of milk. The milk quota system (introduced in 1984) has placed a limit on the amount of milk produced each year by EU dairy farmers. EU-25 milk production declined 0.3% during September 2004-07 and 1.4% in September 2007.
- Adverse climatic conditions in Australia and New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand are the two major milk exporters in the world. In 2005, both countries witnessed a drop in milk productiondue to adverse climatic conditions, with Australia’s output falling 0.3% and New Zealand down 4.0% year-on-year. Decline in output of world’s major milk exporters will impact the global milk supply and therefore, will lead to a rise in milk prices.

Help answer the question about dairy
What are the rubber flooring effects on dairy production?I'd like to know how rubber flooring affects dairy production. Most of people who answered me this question just told me its good to cows don't slip and that its good for their feet, but I need to know how it affects the dairy product's quality and price. I need numbers, and for me it's really hard to find, as I don't know too much about cows. =D
Please, it has been months I'm researching about it, so I will give 10 points for the most useful question.

If the price of food products at the store reflected the actual cost to produce them, we might begin to realize the actual state of our economic situation in this country. No one gets paid less, relative to the amount of work expended, than a farm worker. Our food stays cheap because of subsidies paid by taxpayers. In this way, more money goes into fat-cat’s pockets and less to the farmers who have to slug it out with their sweat. We have bread and circuses, and don’t complain. no free lunch.
You need dairy in your diet because it is full of calcium, and the calcium is need to help break down fat. I have read that they did a survey with 700 women half of them at the recommended amount of dairy and the other half didn't. They had the same calories everyday. The group that ate the calcium lost weight, when the group that didn't actually gained weight. If you don't like dairy then you can take calcium supplements with vitamin D. You need 1000 iu of calcium a day. So, dairy is one of those five foods you need in your diet everyday. And infact the other four are good for losing weight to. They are Dark leafy green veggies and lots of veggies, fruits, Handfull of seeds or nuts, Whole grains, and green tea or black tea. The diet ive been on Ive lost 8 pounds in 25 days. And I eat lots of dairy.
In a large egg there is 212 mg cholesterol.
I don't have an exact measure as to size or quantity but there is cholesterol in cheese but I don't know how much.
There is 5 mg cholesterol in 370 ml of 3% milk.
Mystic covered quite a bit, as ususal!
I would second the discontinuance of the rice cereal and also tell you to stop with the jarred food as well and start giving him fresh.
He is only 9 months.. so you have a bit of time before thinking about what to do instead of formula. Is relactation an option? It would be rather hard at 9 months, but with some dedication, you may be able to produce enough milk to supplement his diet by a year.
That would be VERY beneficial as far as fat, calcium and lots of other nutrients go.
Other than that… the main nutrients we get from milk are Vit A, Vit D, Calcium and fat.
Vitamins A&D are easy. Many veggies are great sources of A (carrots being a biggie!) and Vit D is readily produced with a little exposure to the sun (about 15 min/day).
Calcium is a bit trickier… Leafy greens are good… For me, personally, I make homemade bone broth. I freeze it and then use it in cooking. Great source of calcium and lots of other stuff.
For fat (because I lost WAY too much weight after going off dairy) I take a cod liver oil supplement (also contains A&D) and eat lots of avocado, nuts, and eggs. Of these, avocado is the only one your son can have now… but since he is still getting formula, you don't need to worry about fat so much.
I would also second the caution about soy. I limit my intake and i severely limit my sons intake. Its just not worth the chance.
Oh, yes and protein… It's so common i didn't think to mention it. We eat lots of legumes… red meat, definatly… fish is great… really anything.
I feel great without dairy, much lighter on my feet – now I can't even stand milk in my coffee it's too rich and cheese is really fattening anyway so I don't even want to eat the soy versions. Pizza without cheese is really nice. Really! Most places don't mind at all and they'll just put extra toppings on if you ask.
You don't need special supplements if you don't eat much red meat. Normal fortified soy milk & cereals are fine. In Asian cultures most people don't eat any dairy at all, and they don't suffer from the rates of osteoporosis that we do; too much protein blocks calcium absorption. They think we smell sour because of our dairy consumption, so it's nice to know that I don't smell sour either.
Rubber matting or cow matress in the stalls first help them not slip on the wet cement. Also it give a cushion effect on the hoof and the joint in the leg which helps in preventing lamness. In the modern dairy industry lamness is one of the most common causes for having to cull cows from the herd. Which in turn causes milk production to drop which in turn effects the amount of money you get when you are paid for the milk they pick up to take to the creamery. You are not paid by the gallon but by the pound. Such as our creamery here in Alaska pays us 23 dollars per hundred with milk weighing 8.5 pound per gallon.
Here are some quick figures for us here at Little Briitain House Dairy for one case of lamness:
Death: $40
Culling: $156
Lost Milk: $40
Milk Discard: $5
Extra Open Days: $36
Farm Labor: $5
Treatment: $27
Total per case Avergae: $309
Locomotion Score 2 = 2.0% milk yeild loss.
Locomotion Score 3 = 4.1% milk yeild loss.
Locomotion Score 4 = 9.3% milk yield loss.
Locomotion Score 5 = 15.2% milk yield loss.
Locomotion Score: 1 Normal; 2 mildly lame; 3 modereately lame; 4 lame; 5 severely lame
Here is a short version of a study done in Sweden on fubber matting for dairy herd:
Concrete is the most commonly used alley flooring in confined dairy herds because of its qualities of construction and ease of cleaning. Nevertheless, the hardness, abrasiveness, and slipperiness of concrete floors have adverse effects on animal well-being and health, and yielding rubber flooring is becoming popular as a way of improving the flooring conditions on walkways. The aim of this study was to investigate preferences of dairy cows for rubber compared with concrete flooring under the conditions of a commercial dairy farm. The study was conducted in an organic dairy herd with free-stall housing. Floor preference was tested on groups of standing cows in a 120-m2 holding pen before milking, and 1 yr later on a 12- x 3-m walkway. The holding pen and the walkway were divided lengthwise into 2 identical sections. Two types of solid rubber mats (soft and extra soft) were tested against solid concrete in the holding pen. Slatted and solid rubber mats were tested against slatted concrete in the walkway. Each floor type was tested over 4 d on the left side and 4 d on the right side of the holding pen and the walkway, respectively. Concrete flooring on both sides of the sections was tested as a control before the testing of different section materials. All observations of the distribution of cows in the sections were made from video recordings captured in association with the afternoon milking. The number of cows on each section was recorded approximately every 7 min in the holding pen, and continuously on the walkway. A significantly higher proportion of cows stood on the side with the soft and extra soft rubber mats (65.1 +/- 2.7 and 69.3 +/- 2.6%, respectively, mean +/- SEM) compared with the control distribution when only the solid concrete was available (50.9 +/- 3.9%). A significantly higher proportion of nonlame cows walked exclusively on the side with the slatted (64.5 +/- 5.4%, d 4) or solid rubber mats (68.2 +/- 5.1%, d 4) compared with controls (28.9 +/- 4.3%). Lame cows within a group of walking cows did not show a higher preference for soft flooring as distinct as nonlame cows (52.7 +/- 6.9 and 59.4 +/- 6.2% for the solid and slatted rubber mats, respectively, at d 4 vs. 40.3 +/- 6.2% for control), presumably because of competition with other, higher ranked cows. It was concluded that the majority of cows preferred to walk and stand on soft rubber rather than on concrete flooring.
I hope that this information will help you,
Lentils: High in iron and dietary fiber too, lentils are easy to prepare. They're great for curries, soup (obviously), or braised with wine. And, a cup of cooked lentils will give you 35% of your daily protein.
Chick Peas: Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, are delicious—mash 'em up and fry them for falafel, throw them into a salad, or eat them straight out of the tin. Eating a cup of chickpeas gets you 30% of your daily protein needs.
Tofu: I never could get used to tofu; it was one of my great failures as a vegan. But 4 ounces of tofu nabs you around 20% of your protein intake—and there are a slew of potentially delicious dishes you can make with tofu. Seitan and tempeh are high protein foods worth keeping around, too.
Nuts: Eat plenty of nuts. Just about any kind will do—avoid salted nuts, at least at first, because you might find yourself eating more than you did in your non-vegan days. Walnuts, almonds, and cashews are some personal favorites.
Peanut Butter: Logic may dictate that this should be included in the 'Nuts' category, but I say there's a difference. Peanut butter comes in handy in completely different ways—on toast in the morning, in a sandwich for lunch, even as part of a chunky topping to a dessert. Now, peanut butter is the least purely healthy food on the list, so use it sparingly, and buy organic to avoid the processed stuff.
I can't imagine dairy free ice cream! But why not just use it in some ice cream floats or "milkshakes"?
Non-Dairy Vanilla Cake
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups unbleached cane sugar
1/2 cup Spectrum Naturals Spread or other non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
3 cups unbleached flour
1 T. baking powder
3/4 t. salt
2 cups soy milk, rice milk, or other non-dairy milk of choice
1 T. vanilla
1 t. almond extract
Lightly oil a 9×13-inch pan and set aside. Using an electric mixer or in a large bowl with a hand held mixer, place the sugar and Spectrum Spread, and cream together until light and fluffy. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the soy milk, and continuing to beat the mixture well between each addition. Add the vanilla and almond extract and beat the mixture an additional 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Serve plain or frost with Vanilla "Buttercream" Frosting or any of its variations, or Fluffy Lemon Frosting, or other frosting of choice.
*Note: For a marble variation, reserve 3/4 cups of the batter and add an additional 1/3 cups unbleached sugar, 1/4 cups Spectrum Spread, and 1/4 cups cocoa. Pour the vanilla batter into the prepared pan. Drop the chocolate batter by spoonfuls on top of the vanilla batter, and use a knife to make a swirl pattern.
Yield: One 9×13-inch cake
