Food safety,livestock health,and productivity of a dairy farm following implementation of a certificated Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system

This study examined the safety and productivity data analysis of a dairy farm over a 3-year period following the implementation of a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system in 2018. The CCP was “the selection of milking cows” and the critical limit was “the withholding period has passed”. No deviation from the critical limit was observed, the safety of the milk is ensured. In addition, the average daily milk yield per cow increased, while the average number of somatic cells/ml decreased. The number of cows with newly diagnosed mastitis increased, and the product excluded. These results suggest that the HACCP system had a positive effect on milk yield per cow and led to a decrease in somatic cells.
