Clean Milk Production Agriculture is the base of India s economy. Livestock production, including dairying, plays a multipurpose role in the agriculture systems of India.
Milk is a cheap but high value source of nutrients for the rural population.
If milk is not produced hygienically it can affect the health of many people. Besides being a health hazard, contamination of milk can lead to huge economical losses. Milk contains many essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, minerals and vitamins and therefore acts as an ideal medium for rapid proliferation of harmful microorganisms. Milk needs to be protected from all possible sources of microbial contamination and various types of disease organisms. When the milk is secreted from the udder, it is almost sterile.
