All Things Dairy
Whether you are involved with construction, transportation, safety, research, or QC - either on the farm or in the plant - the Dairy Practices Council (DPC) can offer you resources to maximize your day-to-day practices and business. We can also offer assistance with small ruminant dairies.

The Value of Going Global
We understand the value of sharing information with and learning from our friends abroad. That's why our DPC membership extends far beyond the US dairy industry. As the world becomes smaller, our international sources of information become more valuable to you.
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop and disseminate educational guidelines directed to proper and improved sanitation practices in the production/processing of milk, and the manufacture of dairy products. Facilitate the adoption of sound, uniform, and improved procedures related to the production, processing, and distribution of high quality fluid milk and dairy products. The intent of these objectives is a cooperative effort of Industry, Education, and Regulatory. The further interest is not to duplicate, but to cooperate with other organizations which have similar goals.
Our mission would not be possible without our Sponsors
