When this is how milk is produced, there are bound to be problems:

Some people ponder about how best to “manage” animal agricultural waste:

“[A]s the increasing incidence of environmental and health problems linked to agriculture makes clear, when manure is mismanaged the nutrients in it can foul streams, lakes and aquifers; the pathogens in it can contaminate food products; and the gases it produces, including ammonia, methane and bad-smelling volatile compounds, can upset neighbors and pollute the atmosphere.”

“Even with best practices, manure can cause environmental headaches. So researchers are working on ways to improve its handling, to modify the nutrients in it and to develop alternative uses.”

Or… maybe we just shouldn’t produce the waste in the first place. Maybe we shouldn’t eat animals. Then the problem of ‘how to manage animal agricultural waste’ isn’t a problem at all.
