Even though India stands first in milk production, majority of the farmers are practicing unhygienic and unhealthy milk production practices thus the produced milk is of poor standards. Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) are used world-wide which support the farmers to produce and market safe, quality milk to satisfy the quality standards. The adoption of good dairy farming practices was studied purposively in Uttar Pradesh, since this state ranks first in milk production in India. The study was purposively conducted in central and eastern plain zones of UP. The study revealed that the majority (12.00%) of respondents found that overall adoption of good dairy farming practices. Adoption level of good animal health practices was found to be 12.00 percent and adoption level of good hygienic milking practices (7.00%), good feeding practices (15.00%), good animal welfare practices (16.00%), good environment practices (16.00%) and good socio-economic management practices (4.00%). Therefore, in the present study, an effort was made to know the extent of adoption of good dairy farming practices in the study area.
