Dairy and poultry industry are the
biggest earners in the business world. Since everything requires one of
these products when making, every home and every industrial manufacturer
is a buyer of this industry. Dairy farms are expanding fast. A lot of
farmers are now setting up dairy farms where they milk the cows and sell
the milk out in the market. The milk being sold by the dairy farm
owners has to be processed and then is proclaimed fit for use. Let’s
take a small tour at how we get the milk ready to use at the aisles of
the shops.
It all begins with the milking of the cows in the
dairy farm. Using the latest technology run machines, the milking
process becomes very easy. All of the pipes end in a single huge
container fitted with a
liquid level indicator
which tells the staff working at the farm about the liters they have
milked. Every farm has set an amount of liters they are required to sell
on a daily basis. The excess milk is a bonus and if the buyer is
willing to make more purchases, the extra liters are sold for added
income. After the cows have been milked and all the liters have been
obtained, the milk is filled in smaller containers and loaded on a
truck.
The truck takes all the milk to the processing plant where
it will be processed to last longer. At this plant the milk obtained
from all the dairy farms they are connected to, is tested first. Using
the different techniques to find out any contamination or bacteria
present in the milk, it is treated first. It helps to save the other
milk from being infected because after the entire milk lot is tested; it
is put in a single huge container where it will be processed. Now using
the method to process the milk, the machines are turned on and the
container is sealed. The process is initiated and after going through
all the phases of getting cleaned and processed, the bottles are filled
to a certain level by using the
ultrasonic level indicator to maintain the level.
Now
the bottles and the tetra packs are sent to the packing department
where they are put in cartons and handed over to the shipping
department. The shipping department’s job is to deliver all the cartons
to their purchasers according to their demands. Usually these purchasers
are the wholesale dealers who then pass on to the retailers who end up
placing the milk on the aisles and the customers can now make purchase
freely.
