Dairy animal health and welfare

Dairy animal health and dairy animal welfare are interrelated and are part of the broader biosecurity of the dairy value-chain and of great importance in respect of the performance of the dairy industry as well as for consumers, as, amongst others, particular diseases can impact on food safety of milk and other dairy products. The objective is to deal with issues of dairy animal health and welfare, which are of collective importance, and which cannot be sufficiently dealt with by individual enterprises in the dairy industry. The project will function as an enabler for positive dairy food security and is part of the building blocks of a viable, prosperous dairy industry.
