New source for on-farm innovation and best practices on dairy operations

A new website is turning the latest dairy research into accessible information.

Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC), Lactanet, and partners from across the dairy industry have collaborated to build Canadian Dairy Hub, a comprehensive, bilingual online platform that gives Canadian dairy farmers practical resources.

Building on a previous initiative, the new website is a one-stop hub for tools, videos, factsheets and other resources, all backed by the latest in science-based information in an easy-to-navigate space for farmers and their advisors.

DFC President David Wiens said the website builds on the dairy industry’s long-standing investment in research by serving as a central, one-stop resource for knowledge transfer.

“This ensures that the latest, science-based research reaches farmers directly,” Wiens said. “This investment in knowledge sharing complements our ongoing research efforts, helping farmers make informed management decisions on their farms.”

The Hub is a DFC initiative organized around four key themes: environmental sustainability, animal welfare, animal health, and herd management.

DFC worked closely with Lactanet, provincial producer organizations, and industry experts to develop and deliver the platform.
