INDUSTRIALISATION OF DAIRY FARMING

Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 14 June 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 35 members in total.
That this House notes that pressures are building for the increasing industrialisation of UK dairy farming and that a growing number of cows are being kept indoors for all or most of the year, many of which are pushed to extremely high milk yields; further notes that the 2009 report by the European Food Safety Authority which concluded that breeding for high milk yield is the major factor causing poor health and welfare in cows; and believes that the factory farming of dairy cows must be brought to an end.
