Like previous editions, the text focuses on showing how to use current tools and practices of successful dairy herd managers to produce and market milk and cattle more profitably.

This manual is designed for use by dairy production advisors working in tropical areas, especially in South-East Asia. It aims to increase the productivity of small holder dairy farmers in the humid tropics by improving the feeding management of their livestock.
