Two hundred and two dairy farms in Ukraine have received hygiene and disinfection products to ensure proper sanitary conditions at work as humanitarian aid from Switzerland. This is reported by https://agroportal.ua, citing the Ministry of Agrarian Policy. This will help ensure food security by improving access to quality and safe milk and dairy products produced in Ukraine.
The prerequisite for participation in the humanitarian project was state registration of milk production facilities in accordance with the food legislation of Ukraine. The assistance did not apply to applicants whose production facilities were not registered, as well as to recipients of humanitarian aid from the first phase of the project. An exception was made for farms in the Kharkiv region, which were given the opportunity to reapply.
“The humanitarian project, which began in the first months of the war from the de-occupied territories, has now covered almost a third of all farms in Ukraine. Unfortunately, it was in the areas most affected by the war that the production of high-quality milk for further industrial processing was concentrated. Therefore, such humanitarian aid has become an important factor in restoring and preserving the production potential of the entire dairy industry,” said Taras Vysotskyi, First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine.
Since the start of the project at the end of 2022, a total of 446 dairy farms have received hygiene products for proper milk production: products for washing and disinfecting milking equipment, pre- and post-milking udder treatment, udder hygiene wipes, gloves for milkers, reagents for detecting latent forms of mastitis, disinfectants for livestock premises, etc. A list of all recipient farms is available here.
It is also important to take care of the comfort of animals on farms and access to fresh air fans, which are used in buildings that require ventilation, play an important role in this.
