The relevance of animal welfare issues has increased recently not just in developed but also in developing countries where enhancing animal welfare laws can lead to increased trade opportunities productivity and animal health. Because labor and land are less expensive in these countries than in industrialized ones they will likely have a natural economic advantage in producing agricultural items at a lower cost. The Indian dairy farming system is made up of two parts: the older small-holder production system and the more modern growing commercial dairy farming systems. The issues and worries regarding animal welfare in these two production systems may vary because of the different agricultural practices and applications of modern production technologies.
