Abstract

Sustainable concepts have been applied to livestock and dairy production and this application is being expanded. However, the use of sustainable concepts probably will not progress as rapidly as some individuals and agencies may suggest or desire. Most of the changes in production and management being researched or applied are important in either conventional or sustainable animal agriculture. The recycling of waste materials as livestock feeds, research and application of performance or production enhancers, reducing construction, operating and maintenance requirements of enclosed housing systems, application of preventive medicine, expanded use of grazing-forage systems, and other management alternatives are just as appropriate (and necessary) in sustainable agriculture as in the “modern” large-scale animal production systems that we have always known and strived to improve.
