farm or sent to processing plants.
2. Processing
Pasteurization: A critical step to ensure the safety of milk by heating it to a specific
temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
Homogenization: This process breaks down fat molecules in milk to create a uniform texture
and prevent cream from separating.
Production of Dairy Products: Milk is processed into various products, including cheese,
butter, yogurt, ice cream, and milk powder.
6
Retail and Wholesale: Dairy products are sold in various outlets, including supermarkets,
specialty stores, and directly to consumers via farmers' markets or delivery services.
4. Economic Impact
Global Market: The dairy industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, with
major markets in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Employment: The industry provides millions of jobs worldwide, from farm laborers to
processing plant workers and retail employees.

Automation: Modern dairy farms often use automated milking systems, which improve
efficiency and reduce labor costs.
Genetics and Breeding: Advances in animal genetics have led to improved milk yields and
better health for dairy animals.
Conclusion
