We all know that farming plays a very important role in giving and providing us with healthy and nutrious products. These are all very essential for all human beings. One important product that we receive from the farms from the cows is milk.
Milk is very important and necessary for us all and it is milk that further produces other dairy products such as butter, cheese etc. These dairy products that are produced from the farms are very healthy and beneficial for us. Let us think in this way that when cows provide us with such a healthy dairy product, do we make sure to take care of them and their surrounding? Yes, we should take care of the place where cows are living as a clean, safe and comfortable surrounding will ensure healthy cows that will ensure good quality of milk. Farmers take care of the regulations and federal rules that follow regarding farming. They ensure a comfortable and clean surrounding for their cows and dairy farms.
Farmers are there and make sure to take care of the diets and living conditions of their animals. It is also their duty to do so. They also consult nutritionists to build a healthy and a well balanced diet for their cows. If the cows are given good food, they will ultimately give good milk. [click to continue…]

I just can’t get rid of the idea of starting an organic dairy farm. If you own a piece of land where you can grow cattle feed, this is an excellent business opportunity for you. Having worked in dairy industry(Milk Collection/Procurement), I know the ins and outs of this business like back of my hand.
Now that I have a steady income, I think I can inject the required capital to start the dairy farm. My wife does not think it is a cool idea. but my brothers and father are very supportive. They are even ready to make it a family business and help me in day to day operation of the farm.
I do have an excellent piece of land that is ideally situated near a major highway. It is by all means ideal for the any farm related business. It is within 100 KM range of 5 major cities. Cities need farm produce to survive. [click to continue…]

Pasteurization
Pasteurization’s basic purpose is to accomplish two things:
It’s done by keeping the milk at a temperature of 145 degrees to 150 degrees F. for almost half an hour. After that temperature is reduced to 55 degrees F.
