Clean Milk Production (CMP) is very important in dairy farming. Several hygienic measures should be practiced for production of clean milk. CMP practices of dairy farmers of a selected gram panchayat of Palakkad district of Kerala state were analyzed in terms of knowledge and adoption regarding the practices using a semi– structured interview schedule developed for the purpose. The data were analysed using frequency and percentage. On analysis, it was revealed that more than half of the respondents (77%) had medium knowledge of CMP practices and the rest were in the low category (23%). None were in the high category for knowledge of CMP practices. For adoption of CMP practices, majority of the respondents were in the low category (60%), followed by medium (33%) and high categories (1%).
