World Dairy Expo


DDNZ planned to simultaneously launch the magazine and website on September 25. However, World Dairy Expo (WDE) – in Madison, USA – requested an early website release because its show runs from September 30 to October 3. DDNZ will be available free of charge from this website from September 25.
