Book Description
Excerpt from Farming for Pleasure and Profit: Dairy-Farming, Management of Cows, Etc Many of these, with a comical air of plaintiveness, have deplored the fact that their attachment to country pursuits and occupations, either when directed into the channel of rearing a little stock, or in growing farm produce, has alike turned out an expensive hobby; so that, instead of gaining, they have lost money by what they have undertaken. In endeavouring to comply with the suggestion, it has occurred to me that it would be as well perhaps if I were to give a short account of all the circum stances which caused me to become a farmer upon a small scale, while carrying on a business in London which, in my case, has resulted both in pleasure and profit. As will be seen in the course of the details I am about to furnish, I did not jump into active operations all at once, but went to work very gradually, and felt my way from time to time in what I undertook, laying down one main principle - that, as far as possible, I would be my own customer for the produce raised. That is to say, that I would supply my household with butter, milk, bacon, fresh pork, eggs, vegetables, fruit, honey, flour for bread; oats, beans, and straw for my horses hay, etc. Selling my surplus.

Book Description
Dairy consumption in Asia has more than doubled over the last 25 years, and has led to more than 50% of the world's total dairy imports now entering Asian markets. Consequently, Asian countries are seeking to improve their self-sufficiency in dairy produce by developing their local milk industries. Asian livestock importers are looking for increasing numbers of high grade dairy stock from established dairy industries in countries such as Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, a major problem encountered throughout Asia has been the poor performance of these exotic high grade dairy heifers when exported from their country of origin to a new, more stressful environment. This has been due to a failure to prepare for their introduction. Exotic dairy cows, particularly those from farms with high levels of herd performance, have high management requirements. If subjected to local and traditional small holder dairy farm practices, they are unlikely to produce acceptable yields of milk or may not even get back into calf. Poor management practices can lead to low growth rates, delayed breeding, stock diseases and even deaths among imported stock both before and after first calving. Managing High Grade Dairy Cows in the Tropics addresses the entire range of management practices found on tropical small holder dairy farms, highlighting those which are likely to adversely impact on heifer and cow performance, hence farm profitability. It is a companion volume to two previous manuals written by John Moran: Tropical Dairy Farming and Business Management for Tropical Dairy Farmers.
