Dr John Webster is Emeritus Professor in Animal Husbandry at the University of Bristol, UK. Amongst his many achievements, Professor Webster was recently awarded an honorary degree by the Royal Veterinary College for his research in animal science, as well as the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Animal Welfare. He established the Animal Welfare and Behaviour Group at the University of Bristol, one of the largest and most highly-regarded of its kind in the world, and was a founder member of the Farm Animal Welfare Council which pioneered the Five Freedoms for farm animals. Dr Jennie Pryce is Principal Research Scientist at Agriculture Victoria Research part of the State Government of Victoria, Australia where she lead the Animal’s Programme of DairyBio. Dr Pryce is also Professor at La Trobe University, Australia. Yvette de Haas is employed as Programme Manager at Wageningen Livestock Research, the Netherlands. Her expertise is in precision phenotyping for the purpose of animal breeding. Emily Miller-Cushon is an Assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences, University of Florida. She completed her PhD in Animal Behavior and Welfare at the University of Guelph in 2014. Her research focuses on the relationships between management, behavior, and welfare of dairy calves. Dr. Trevor DeVries is a Canada Research Chair in Dairy Cattle Behavior and Welfare and an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph. After receiving his Ph.D. in 2006, he worked for one year as a post-doctoral researcher at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, focusing his research on ruminant nutrition. In 2007 he was appointed as faculty with the University of Guelph. In his current position Trevor is involved in research and teaching in the areas of dairy cattle nutrition, management, behavior, and welfare. John McNamara is an Emeritus Professor at Washington State University and a Fellow of ADSA and ASAS. His foundational research helped determine the quantitative contribution of specific pathways and enzymes to the efficiency of the cow. This research has discovered key elements of transcriptional control of metabolism, led to expansion of systems models in research and the specific mechanisms of integration of nutritional metabolism and reproduction. He has been recognized as a world leader in systems biology and has given invited lectures in more than a dozen countries. He continues to focus on integrating genetics, nutrition and reproduction in mathematical models of the cow. He has served on the NC 185, 1009, and 1040 research committees for 25 years and has written 3 revisions of that project. He has advised the WSU Cooperative University Dairy Students for the last 17 years. He has served on several editorial boards and 4 terms as an Editor of The Journal of Dairy Science and is presently Special Editor of the Special 100th Anniversary Issue of The Journal. He has procured more than $3 M in research and teaching support; mentored several graduate students, hundreds of undergraduate students, and has published more than 200 peer-reviewed research papers, proceedings and invited talks. Dr. McNamara was the first recipient of the WSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics Excellence in Research Award; also Excellence in Advising (2005); ADSA Young Scientist Award (1992); Higher Education Teacher of the Year Award (2001) from the Washington Science Teachers Association and the Corbin Award Companion Animal Biology from ASAS (2007), and was the inaugural recipient of the Jane Parker Excellence in Advising award from WSU. In 2015 he received the Zoetis Physiology Award as one of the most prestigious recognitions for scientific achievement in Dairy Science.
...the book offers important and in-depth information on dairy cattle welfare, nutrition and health. International Dairy Magazine All three volumes of Achieving sustainable production of milk should be considered as a whole...Over more than 1200 pages, the authors review all fields of milk production, beginning with milk composition, genetics and breeding, safety and milk quality, sustainability of milk production as well as dairy herd management, health, welfare and nutrition of dairy. All three volumes could be considered a standard reference for graduate students in the fields of dairy science and veterinary medicine, animal and dairy scientists at universities and other research centres, and also those in governments and companies involved or working in the field of milk production.
