Denmark has a long history of exporting butter and cheese to the UK, and now you'll find Danish dairy products in pretty much every supermarket here. Sarah Swadling visits dairy farmer Per Warming, near Aars in northern Jutland, to examine animal welfare and how the industry has coped with a period of intense change. Keeping cows indoors all year round is an idea which is gaining ground in the UK, and which has proved highly controversial. In Denmark about half of all milking cows are kept this way. The number of Danish dairy farmers halved in ten years, but Per says that this was 'just progress' and such is the strength of their co-operative dairy system that Danish farmers now own one of the UK's biggest milk processors.
