Canadian dairy is well equipped to manage an emerging disease in ways that mitigate risks to animals and farmers.
 

Yes, the revised Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle could mean more work and/or investment for some dairy farmers, but the results are well worth it, not only at the farm level, but at an industry level as well.

On March 30, the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) and Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) released the updated Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle.

Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) issued its Progress Report on proAction, the robust national quality assurance program followed on Canadian dairy farms. 

An independent review by a credible third-party organization has reaffirmed that the proAction Animal Care module developed by Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) and implemented on Canadian dairy farms is consistent with national animal care standards.

Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) has been working overdrive this fall to provide consumers with a better understanding of what’s behind the Blue Cow logo and 100% Canadian dairy.

Preparing for a visit from a proAction validator can be a daunting task, especially if you are new to dairy farming in Canada or if you have not devoted enough time to integrating proAction requirements into your routine.
