Abstract
THE difficulties of efficient dairying increase rapidly with the ambient temperature, and tropical dairying is beset with hazards which are not encountered in a more temperate climate. If children in hot countries are to be satisfactorily fed, and if, in countries such as India, the predominantly cereal diet of the great majority of the population is to be balanced by a sufficient intake of animal protein, fat, vitamins and lime, then tropical dairying, despite the difficulties, must be effectively practised. This is particularly important in India where religious sentiment is against the consumption of most types of animal food other than milk and dairy products.
