Overview from DairyNZ on the importance of Animal Welfare in Dairy production systems.
Animal welfare is central to good farming and goes beyond just caring for animals on the farm. This means adhering to standards set out by the Animal Welfare Act, the Dairy Cattle Code of Welfare and meeting consumer and market expectations. DairyNZ works with farmers and partners to promote best animal care practices, offering resources and training. Animal care is not only beneficial for the animals, but also for you, the farm, the dairy industry, and New Zealand as a whole.
