<title>Industrialisation Of Dairy Farming</title>
<proposer id="10527">Adrian Sanders</proposer>
<date>2012-05-09</date>
<text>That this House notes that pressures are building for the increasing industrialisation of UK dairy farming and that a growing number of cows are being kept indoors for all or most of the year, many of which are pushed to extremely high milk yields; further notes the 2009 report by the European Food Safety Authority which concluded that breeding for high milk yield is the major factor causing poor health and welfare in cows; and believes that the factory farming of dairy cows must be brought to an end.</text>
