About Us

The DCWC was formally established in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for educational and scientific purposes

Our Vision:

The purpose of the DCWC is to promote dairy cattle welfare by bringing together dairy farmers, veterinarians, consultants, universities, and the dairy community to develop best recommended practices with focus on animal well-being, management, husbandry, animal-people interaction, health, and productivity.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to advance the care and treatment of dairy cattle by bringing the dairy industry together to inform, educate, and support continuous improvement of animal well-being on dairy farms.


2027 DCWC Symposium

Our annual symposium is a three-day event featuring poster sessions, oral presentations, panel discussions, and workshops focused on sharing research, on-farm practices, and innovation in dairy cattle welfare. The first two days are tailored to veterinarians and producers, with a third day of workshops presented in Spanish for their teams.
