Clean Milk Production: Farm-Level Strategies

Clean milk production begins on the farm and requires a systematic approach to animal health, milking hygiene, housing, nutrition, and milk handling. Poor hygiene practices increase the risk of bacterial contamination, mastitis, reduced milk quality, and economic losses. This webinar focuses on evidence-based farm-level strategies to ensure the production of clean, safe, and wholesome milk. Participants will learn about pre- and post-milking hygiene, udder health management, milking machine maintenance, housing sanitation, water quality, milk storage, and biosecurity measures. The session also highlights the importance of reducing somatic cell counts, minimizing microbial contamination, and adopting good dairy farming practices to enhance milk quality, consumer safety, and overall farm productivity.
