The Basic Milk Processing course, offered by the Dairy Training Center in Nepal, focuses on fundamental techniques of milk handling, pasteurization, filtration, standardization, and storage. It provides practical knowledge on milk quality testing, hygiene, and safety practices. This course helps build skills for small-scale and commercial dairy processing in Nepal.
Dairy Farms and Dairy Projects:
In the worldwide support to dairy programs the experiences from Dutch dairy farming are combined with international experience on natural livestock farming on sustainable ways to produce quality milk, without chemical residues. This is based on the NLF 5-layered approach, including the use of herbs (Ethnoveterinary Practices) as well as sustainable breeding strategies.
How can we support?
- DTC Nepal, together with other partners within the DTC Netherlands network have developed several methodologies to support dairy farmers, including:
- Wheel of Animal Production and Wellbeing – a participatory tool for dairy planning, monitoring and evaluation
- Review lessons learnt in Dutch dairy farming, and see which of those are applicable in the local situations
- Training courses on safe use of herbs and herbal products (Ethnoveterinary Medicine) for farmers and veterinarians
- Contextualize the Natural Livestock Farming 5-layered strategy for sustainable dairy production, and residue free milk to the local conditions
- Organize an NLF exchange & training program, for example to NLF-India, on the safe use of herbs (Ethnoveterinary Practices) for prevention and cure of important cattle diseases, such as mastitis
- Studies on a variety of topics related to sustainable livestock production in a changing context. Special expertise in livestock & climate change, and reduction of antibiotic use.
