1 CATTLE PRODUCTION FACTS AND TRENDS IN GREECE George E. Valergakis Assistant Professor Laboratory of Animal Husbandry Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, GREECE
2 Overview 1. The conventional dairy cow sector in Greece 2. The organic dairy cow sector in Greece 3. Thoughts on low input farms
3 THE DAIRY CATTLE SECTOR IN GREECE 90,000 cows 1,500 farms Holsteins >99% Freestall barns with/without exercise paddocks Open, dry lots with sunshine/rain shelters Corn silage/alfalfa hay based TMRs
4 COW MILK PRODUCTION IN GREECE % of needs,000 tons year low year 2014 Eurostat, USDA
5 COW MILK PRODUCTION IN GREECE % of needs,000 tons Obviously, profitability is LOW! year low year 2014 Eurostat, USDA
6 Is it because of LOW milk prices: NO! HOLLAND 42,3 GREECE GERMANY 35,5 ΙTALY cents/kg JUNE 2015 FRANCE 27,5 30 POLAND HUNGARY CZECH ΒULGARIA ROUMANIA
7 It is because of a HIGH production cost! Estimated mean production cost: cents / kg
8 It is because of a HIGH production cost! Estimated mean production cost: cents / kg POTENTIAL REDUCTION of PRODUCTION COST (10,000 kg/cow/year) /cow/year cents/kg of milk Nutrition Reproduction Mastitis Lameness Heifers TOTAL 1, George E. Valergakis, Laboratory of Animal Husbandry

19 Organic dairies (and low input ones) are based on pasture
20 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season are based on pasture
21 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Greek organic dairies are based on pasture In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
22 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Greek organic dairies Long summer In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
23 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Welfare issues may arise! Long summer Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
24 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Irrigation New Zealand style SUSTAINABLE? Is there enough water? Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid Is it really LOW INPUT?
25 Organic dairies (and low input ones) If I have to irrigate Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
26 Organic dairies (and low input ones) which one is more profitable? Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
27 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Perhaps I should MINIMIZE! MAXIMIZE! Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
28 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Is this low input? Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
29 Organic dairies (and low input ones) MORE PROTEIN!!! Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
30 Organic dairies (and low input ones) I don t know how to manage this very well Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
31 Organic dairies (and low input ones) but I can make excellent alfalfa hay! 18-20% protein Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season Climate: Hot and arid
32 Organic dairies (and low input ones) Alfalfa hay Corn silage Small grain silage Wheat/barley straw Greek organic dairies In most cases, not enough land Segmented in small plots Short grazing season
33 Organic dairies (and low input ones) HOME-GROWN CEREALS Corn grain Barley Wheat
34 Organic dairies (and low input ones) HOME-GROWN CEREALS Organic soybean meal: 850 /ton Corn grain Barley Wheat
35 Organic dairies (and low input ones) HOME-GROWN CEREALS Organic soybean meal: 850 /ton Corn grain Alternative: Home-grown Barley Wheat Lupins Peas
