GDFP implementation covers aspects of feed management, livestock health, barn hygiene, and proper milking practices. This activity was crucial to ensuring a sustainable supply of quality fresh milk.
Giving training to dairy farmers in the implementation of GDFP was a crucial investment in improving milk quality, farm productivity, and farmer welfare. Through proper training, farmers can produce high-quality milk, increase income, and contribute to regional economic development.
