12. Carbon equivalent per milk produced-
a new performance parameter
p How much the carbon equivalent number
will be for Chinese dairy farms?
p Is the “ high-input-high-output-high-
emission” mode a sustainable
development mode for China dairy
farming?
p Will the evolution towards environmental
protection cost too much?

Questions for China Dairy sector
Carbon contents are assigned to milk (12 g of C/g of milk N) and animal tissue
(0.23 g of C/g of animal mass) based upon their protein, carbohydrate, and lipid
contents (USDA, 2005).

24. p We have the best technical experts with strong
theoretical basis and proficient practice
p We have the perfect standard operation process of
farm assessment and enough experience to push the
study toward.
p We can help the farm make a good plan to reduce
the cost and carbon emission.
Next steps:
Organizing experts to assess the model farm
