A new potential regulation is being discussed in the Gulf region for storage of food products which would request ambient dairy type of products to be shipped into containers with a temperature controlled at 25°c. Local industry is taking action and IDF has been requested to support through a fact sheet.

 The factsheet has also been uploaded on the IDF website.

Announcement that registration is now open for the 7th IDF International Symposium on Sheep, Goat and other non-Cow Milk! 

This 7th International Symposium aims at providing a renewed vision of knowledge on husbandry and milk production, technology, chemistry, physics, microbiology and nutrition. It will also highlight the significance of markets and appropriate policies as they have evolved since 2011. 

The 7th IDF International Symposium on Sheep, Goat and other non-Cow Milk will take place in Limassol, Cyprus, on 23-25 March 2015 - Save the date!

The overall objective of the Symposium is to provide a renewed vision of knowledge on husbandry and milk production, technology, chemistry, physics, microbiology and nutrition and to highlight the significance of markets and appropriate policies as they have evolved since 2011.

The event is addressed to scientists and other professionals involved in the sheep, goat and other non-cow dairy sectors, including milk producers, dairy processing industry, trade associations, academia, research institutes and governments. The Symposium will be a platform for exchange of knowledge and information among international experts in the field.

Scientific Symposium - Saturday 17 May 2014  IDF/ISO Analytical Week, Berlin, Germany

After the last two symposia, dealing with Safeguarding Dairy Food Safety and the Role of Standardization including case studies of trade issues, this year's symposium is focused on the Contribution of Analytics to Safeguard our Dairy Cows' Health and Healthy Dairy Products.

The intention is that IDF/ISO Analytical Week together with ICAR Biennial Congress and INTERBULL are functioning as a melting pot in the background. These combined events attract specialists in the field of Analytics as well as experts in “digesting” and applying data to enhance information quality and information density for dairy herd managers in the frame of a health oriented DHI system, which should lead to fruitful interdisciplinary discussions – to the benefit of the dairy farmers.

What can Analytics Contribute to Healthy Cows and Healthy Dairy Products?
