DAIRY FARMING CERTIFICATION
GOOD DAIRY FARMING PRACTICE
GOOD DAIRY FARMING PRACTICES (GDFP)
Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP), also known as Dairy Farming Certification, establish a robust foundation for producing milk that aligns with the highest standards demanded by the food industry and consumers. By implementing GDFP, dairy farms ensure the safety, quality, and suitability of milk and milk products. These practices are based on international standards such as the Codex Alimentarius guidelines for food hygiene (CXC1-1969,revised 2022) and the Codex Code of Hygienic Practice for Milk and Milk Products (CAC/RCP 57-2004).
The primary objective of GDFP is to produce safe, high-quality milk from healthy animals, while utilizing sustainable management practices that address animal welfare, social, economic, and environmental factors. To achieve this, dairy producers are encouraged to adopt best practices across key areas: animal health, milking hygiene, nutrition (feed and water), animal welfare, environmental management, and socioeconomic responsibility.
GDFP guidelines emphasize that dairy farmers are integral players in the broader dairy production and processing chain. This chain includes suppliers to dairy farms, milk carriers, dairy product manufacturers, food distributors, retailers, and consumers. Each participant in this chain should be part of an integrated food safety and quality assurance system. By following GDFP, dairy farmers contribute to producing milk from healthy animals, in a manner that is socially responsible, economically viable, and environmentally sustainable. This comprehensive approach to dairy farming reduces risks, ensuring the farm’s short- and long-term success.
