Research Needs to Supply Milk Protein in the Human Diet

Abstract Emergence of government action to define a national policy on food and nutrition implies increased emphasis on programs for food production and marketing. Optimal policy will rely upon information from targeted basic and applied research. Dairy cattle are discussed in the context of their comparative advantage among livestock species for providing high quality protein in the human diet Research needs are suggested to supply economical milk protein by improving biomass efficiency, economic efficiency, milk pricing, and aggregate analyses of systems of dairy production.
