Partners

Strengthening the Canadian dairy industry

Our partners include agricultural producers, dairy organizations, and representatives from industry and government. Together they collaborate to identify best practices that will protect farmers, dairy herds, consumers and the Canadian dairy industry.

Explore Dairy Farmers of Canada
Responsible dairy farming is more than milking cows.

Our traceability partners work collectively to choose dairy cattle tags, decide how to best automate, as well as deliver outstanding service to producers. Additionally, our partners provide convenient and efficient options for producers and affiliates to record and report dairy traceability data.
