Re: News - BeefTalk - Don’t Overlook the Value of Cattle Hair

I recently returned from E Africa after being involved in a livestock and meat processing improvement project. The point made regarding our lack of realisation that an animal's natural instinct should be incorporated into any farming system was one that I tried to emphasise as a basic premise that this is integral in the development of a long term improvement in animal husbandry. It is relevant not only to low imput and management systems found in the southern countries but just as relevant to our intensive systems were greater regard to animal welfare/reduction of chemical feed imputs are becoming increasingly important as customers become more aware of farming practices.
