Celebrating Our 5-Year Anniversary

Five years ago, CanWest DHI, Canadian Dairy Network, and Valacta came together to form Lactanet Canada, a first-of-kind organization. While we are a national network for dairy farmers with four labs across the country, we are also a team of 450 people from coast-to-coast devoted to make dairy farming better. Thank you to my fellow dairy producers for a great beginning.

Our branding

The word ‘Lacta’ has its origin from milk/dairy and ‘net’ represents the network of dairy organizations that form the partnership, or that may join in the future. 

‘Net’ also reflects technology and information of the services offered.  Lactanet is a bilingual name that paves the way for an innovative inspiring future.
