Abstract

[fre] La somatotropine bovine (BST) permet d'accroître la production des vaches laitières dans certaines conditions, en particulier d'alimentation. Des études budgétaires à partir de cas-types montrent que ce produit peut être un outil d'intensification dans les élevages, malgré la contrainte des quotas et à condition de pouvoir introduire des activités de substitution. La souplesse d'utilisation permet d'envisager soit un emploi systématique, soit un emploi stratégique. Le recours à une telle technique relance les débats politiques, économiques et sociaux sur l'avenir de l'exploitation laitière et plus généralement du secteur agricole. [eng] Within certain conditions — especially feeding — Bovine somatotropine (BST) allows an increase in the yield of dairy cows. Budget studies of representative situations have shown that this product may further intensification in dairy farms, in spite of the restraint of quotas, and provided that substitution activities be introduced, and production be diversified. Being flexible in use, BST can be employed either systematically or in particular instances. Recording to BST revives political, economical and sociological debates about the future of cattle farms, and — more generally — of agricultural sector.
