This book provides a comprehensive overview of the dairy industry. It is divided

Section 1, "Dairy Technology," includes one chapter on the bio-molecular characteristics of whey proteins in relation to inflammation. Whey protein is categorized to contain a plethora of healthy components conferring anti-inflammatory and

Section 2, "Reproductive Biotechnology," includes one chapter on folliculogenesis, fertility and biotechnology in dairy cattle. The chapter has attempted to describe the most important aspects of this process. Moreover, not all follicles reach the preovulatory phase and can be fertilized, thus the author of the chapter has discussed how reproductive biotechniques can positively influence the fertility of bovine females. The chapter also describes the influence of antral follicle count on reproductive performance and the correlation to biotechniques was described. Finally, the chapter presents alternatives on how to improve fertility and productive

The first chapter discusses the fact that vermi-products have a good livelihood and

The second chapter on "green gold" refers to the major bottleneck of dairy effluent treatment plant (ETP) operation. The generation of nutrient-rich wastewater from processed milk results in the annual production of 7.93 tons of carbon dioxide gas during treatment in a seven to eight-step process. The chapter proposes a carefully selected, tailor-made bacterial consortium in a biofilm reactor with a four- hours incubation in a single-step operation, transforming to transform the total volume of wastewater into ammonia-rich liquid biofertilizer. This technique helps to solve one of the major concerns for sustaining the expansion of the dairy industry, hence making the EETPffluent Treatment Plant (ETP) operation an eco-friendly

The final chapter in this section provides information on low-cost and user-friendly dairy farming innovations suitable for all kinds of farms maintained under rural

The first is on regional breeds and examines the situation of cattle and buffalo in Europe that supply milk to the processing industry. It provides a brief description of the origin and cognition of different regional and local dairy breeds, the presentation of morphological and productive characters, as well as the perspective of
