| Dairy industry
Dairy industry is one of the industries which plays
a dynamic role in India's agro-based economy. Dairy farming
includes breeding and care of milk yielding cattle, procuring
milk and processing of milk into a variety of dairy products.
Dairy products is a major exporting industry and earns considerable
foreign exchange for the country. In 1946, the foundation
of Anand Milk Union Ltd (AMUL), led to the development of
a better organised dairy industry and gave momentum to education
in dairying in India.Dairy Technologist apply principles
of bacteriology, chemistry, physics, engineering and economics
to develop new and improved methods in production, preservation
and utilisation of milk, cheese and other dairy products.
Dairy scientists study the physiology of
re-production and lactation, carry out breeding programmes
to improve dairy breeds. They carryout experiments to determine
effects of different kinds of feed and environmental conditions
on quantity, quality and nutritive value of milk produced.
They research breeding, feeding and management of dairy
cattle.
There are two main areas of activity in
the dairy industry :
Liquid Milk Production
It covers milk collection processing and
distribution and is carried out almost entirely in the public
sector through co-operatives.Processing involves handling
of milk for distribution or its conversion into dairy products.
After the milk has reached the plant, processing work begins
and it is converted into a variety of dairy products. Dairy
Technologists mainly deal with the technical and quality
control aspect of the processing industry and also work
to develop improved methods in processing, production preservation
and utilisation of milk and milk products.Traditionally
dairy technology was a part of veterinary and animal husbandry
courses. These courses were and still is offered by Agricultural
Universities as a part of the B.VSc. |
