Introducing G.A.P.’s Dairy Cow Standard

G.A.P.’s Animal Welfare Certified program is a tiered system of standards, signaling to consumers how the animal was raised. The higher the step (or tier), the more the animal’s environment mimics a natural environment. View the G.A.P. Dairy Standards document below to understand which tier your operation will be able to achieve.
