STRATEGIES FOR QUALITY MILK PRODUCTION
Abstract
In today’s competitive local and global market, the quality of milk is as much important as the quantity of milk to get maximum profit. With growing health concern among the consumers it is necessary to maintain quality milk production. Only healthy cows managed under hygienic and clean environment can produce quality milk. Mastitis, udder infections and general infections are one of the major reasons of decreasing the milk quality. An effective mastitis control program can be an efficient approach. Once the milk is drawn out of cow, the retention or preservation of milk quality requires cleanliness, sanitation and careful handling. Quality milk production requires safer strategies to be adopted at each stage of production. Regular screening of animals and milk handlers for infectious and general diseases can help in better management and production of quality milk and milk products for consumption.
