From the Pen of Chief Editor Organization of lipids in milks, infant milk formulas and various dairy products: role of technological processes and potential impacts

C O N T E N T S

The microstructure of milk fat in processed dairy products is poorly known despite its importance in their functional, sensorial and nutritional properties. However, for the last 10 years, several research groups including our laboratory have significantly contributed to increasing knowledge on the organization of lipids in situ in dairy products. This paper provides an overview of recent advances on the organization of lipids in the milk fat globule membrane using microscopy techniques (mainly confocal microscopy and atomic force microscopy). Also, this overview brings structural information about the organization of lipids in situ in commercialized milks, infant milk formulas and various dairy products (cream, butter, buttermilk, butter serum and cheeses). The main mechanical treatment used in the dairy industry, homogenization, decreases the size of milk fat globules, changes the architecture (composition and organization) of the fat/water interface and affects the interactions between lipid droplets and the protein network (concept of inert vs active fillers). The potential impacts of the organization of lipids and of the alteration of the milk fat globule membrane are discussed, and technological strategies are proposed, in priority to design biomimetic lipid droplets in infant milk formulas.

PREVENTING ZOONOTIC DISEASE ON THE DAIRY

What is Zoonotic Disease ? Zoonotic diseases are those diseases and infections that are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and men with or without an arthropod intermediates. It is Infections that are naturally transmitted from vertebrates' animals to humans and human to animal and also from human to human are classiﬁed as zoonoses (WHO 2007; Plamer et al. 1998). These zoonotic diseases represent one of the major leading causes of illness and death from infectious diseases (PAHO, 2001). Zoonotic diseases may be acquired or spread in a variety of ways: through the air (aerosol), by direct contact, by contact with an inanimate object that harbours the disease (fomite transmission), by oral ingestion, and by insect transmission. Fig. Interaction of environment, host and pathogen and places of diﬀerent type of infections. (Image source http://www.theindependentbd.com/prin tversion/details/121871) There are several cattle diseases with zoonotic potential in India, some of the important diseases are mentioned below: Anthrax Anthrax is a bacterial disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, which forms spores that survive for years in the environment. Cattle, sheep, and goats are at the highest risk of developing anthrax, but other farm animals, as well as wildlife and humans, can contract the disease. Most animals are infected by oral ingestion of soil contaminated with anthrax spores. People develop anthrax when the organism enters a wound in the skin, is inhaled in contaminated dust, or is eaten in undercooked meat from infected 05

animals. Biting flies can transmit the bacterium, which results in redness and swelling at the bite site. The most common clinical sign in animals is sudden death. Blood may be seen oozing from the mouth, nose, and anus of animals that died of anthrax. A vaccine for livestock is available in areas where anthrax is a common livestock disease. Animals suspected of dying from anthrax should be examined by a veterinarian immediately. Animals that have died of anthrax should be burned or buried deeply and covered with lime. The area should be thoroughly decontaminated with lime, as anthrax spores can survive in the soil for decades. Anthrax is prevented by avoiding contact with animals that are suspected to have anthrax and areas that may contain bodies of animals that died from anthrax. Brucellosis Brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella, which can affect a wide variety of animals including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, and dogs. Brucella organisms can be present in placental tissues or fluids (aborted foetuses, foetal fluids, placentas, and vaginal discharges), and in milk, urine, blood, and semen. Transmission among cattle is through ingestion of parturition fluids and milk and in utero. The most common clinical sign in cattle is late-term abortion, but many infected cattle do not show any clinical signs. Most infections in humans are associated with drinking or eating unpasteurized milk products. Handling infected aborted foetuses or afterbirth is another common means of human infection, as the organism can enter through cuts in the skin and the mucous membranes of the eye and mouth. Common symptoms in humans are undulating fever, weakness, headache, joint pain, and night sweats. Tuberculosis Bovine tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis which is shed in respiratory secretions, faeces, and milk of infected animals. Cattle are infected by inhaling or ingesting the

bacterium. Weight loss, weakness, lowgrade fever, and coughing are common clinical signs of infection in cattle. Humans may acquire tuberculosis from unpasteurized dairy products and can develop symptoms involving the lungs, kidneys, spine, or brain. Infected individuals have a persistent cough and often cough up blood. Leptospirosis Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease caused by Leptospira interrogans that can occur in large number of animals, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, and dogs. Leptospirosis is spread through the urine of infected animals and can survive in water and soil for months. The most common clinical signs in cattle are abortion and weak newborn calves. Cattle, and especially rodents, may show no signs of illness but carry and pass the organism in their urine. Humans acquire leptospirosis through direct contact, ingestion, or inhalation of the bacteria. Infection usually results in mild flu-like symptoms but may progress to severe liver and kidney disease. Prevention involves rodent control and elimination of standing water. Avoid water, such as ponds, where animals congregate and urinate, and wear gloves when handling reproductive fluids or when being exposed to urine. Pseudocowpox Pseudocowpox is a virus that causes small raised sores and scabs on the teats and udders of cattle. The virus is spread from cow to cow by milkers and milking equipment, and causes small raised sores that later scab. Humans acquire pseudocowpox by direct contact with infected cows and can develop painful scabby sores on the hands and arms. Good milking hygiene and teat dipping will decrease the spread of this virus. People should wear gloves when handling infected cows, and thoroughly wash hands and arms after milking. Rabies Rabies is a deadly viral infection affecting all mammals, including humans. Rabies DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 15 | NO. - 6 | June 2018

spread through the saliva of a rabid animal, typically through bite wounds. Cattle may show changes in behaviour, excessive vocalization, have diﬃculty swallowing, drool, and/or become paralyzed. People contract rabies through exposure to infected saliva in open wounds or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, and mouth). This could occur during examination or treatment of infected cattle. Rabies is almost always fatal once clinical signs are evident. People should not handle or feed wildlife. Contact your veterinarian immediately if cattle behave abnormally or have symptoms of rabies. Always wear gloves and take safety precautions when treating sick animals. A veterinarian should be consulted if an animal dies of unknown causes. If there is human exposure to an animal with rabies, a physician should be contacted immediately so post-exposure prophylactic injections can be initiated. Escherichia coli Escherichia coli (E. coli) are bacteria normally found in the intestines of people and animals. However, some strains cause a severe, often bloody, diarrhoea in humans. Animals are the carriers of the bacteria, and humans become infected by ingesting contaminated food or water, especially undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized juice and milk, and vegetables. Humans may also become infected after handling or being exposed to faeces of a carrier animal. Person-toperson transmission can occur by lack of good hand washing following diaper changes. E.coli can also be transmitted through swimming pools. E. coli O157:H7 is a particularly virulent strain of E. coli that in humans can cause abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhoea, and occasionally, especially in young children and the elderly, life threatening kidney disease and a haemolytic uremic syndrome. E. coliO157:H7 may cause diarrhoea in young calves, but most infected cattle show no clinical signs. Prevention focuses on hand washing and proper food hygiene. Hands and all cooking equipment should be washed with soap and hot water after touching or handling raw meat. Meats should be 06

thawed in the refrigerator, and ground beef should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the juices run clear. At restaurants, undercooked meats should be returned to the kitchen. Do not drink unpasteurized milk or milk products, juice, or cider. Make sure drinking water, especially well water, is adequately disinfected. Wash hands after handling animals or being in animal facilities and do not eat or drink around animals. Daycare facilities should wash toys frequently, and individuals with diarrhoea should avoid swimming in public areas. Ringworm Ringworm is a skin infection caused by fungi of the Trichophyton or Microspora species. Animals get ringworm by direct contact with an infected animal or by being in an infected environment, such as a barn. Ringworm is characterized by hairless, crusty circular areas on the skin. People are infected with ringworm through direct contact with infected animals. In humans, ringworm forms itchy areas on the skin that are round and irritated. Good hygiene and thorough hand and forearm washing after handling infected cattle will help decrease the risk of ringworm. Salmonellosis Salmonella are bacteria that are shed in the faeces of infected animals. Many animals are susceptible to Salmonella, including cattle. Infection occurs as a result of the ingestion of contaminated feed, water, or grass. The bacterium can live for months to years in the environment, especially in wet and warm conditions. Young, stressed or pregnant animals are the most susceptible to Salmonella infection. Infection may result in fever, foul smelling diarrhoea, and severe dehydration. People acquire Salmonella from undercooked contaminated meat, infected eggs, or unpasteurized milk products. If hands are not washed after direct contact with infected faeces, then accidental ingestion of bacteria can occur. Humans may develop diarrhoea, abdominal cramping, and fever, which can be very severe. Animals with diarrhoea should be

isolated and the area disinfected. Meat and eggs should be adequately cooked and proper food handling hygiene should be used. Always wash hands after touching or working with animals. Cryptosporidiosis Cyrptosporidium is a protozoal parasite that causes diarrhoea. Most animals can be infectedwithCryptosporidium, but clinical signs are most commonly observed in calves less than 1 month old. Infected animals shed the organism in their faeces, contaminating the environment.Cryptosporidium can then be ingested from infected food or water. Humans are infected by consuming food or water contaminated with the organism or by failing to wash their hands after exposure to infective faeces or animals. Most people who are infected do not become sick. For those individuals that show clinical signs, explosive diarrhoea and abdominal pain are common. Vomiting, fever, and muscle cramps may also occur. Young children, pregnant women, and immune compromised adults are most severely affected. Calves with diarrhoea should be separated from healthy ones, and the infected area disinfected with bleach. Prevention efforts in humans focus on hand washing, especially after handling or being around animals and before eating or handling food. Q Fever Q fever is caused by the bacterium Coxiella burneti and causes abortions in cattle, sheep, and goats. Animals acquire Q fever through contact with reproductive fluids and milk from infected animals. Humans are usually infected when they are assisting the parturition and are exposed to reproductive fluids. They may also be infected by drinking infected unpasteurized milk. Humans develop a fever, night sweats, and pneumonia and hepatitis in severe cases. Miscarriages, premature delivery, and infections of the placenta are possible in pregnant women. To prevent the spread of Q fever, aborted foetuses and reproductive Continue page on...9 DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 15 | NO. - 6 | June 2018

PLANT-ESSENTIAL OILS IN RUMINANT NUTRITION AND PRODUCTION and nutritionists have been exploring alternative methods of favorably altering ruminal metabolism to improve feed eﬃciency and animal productivity. Deﬁnition

Introduction In livestock production systems, antibiotics are commonly fed to animals to prevent disease and metabolic disorders, as well as improve feed efficiency. However in recent years, public concern over routine use of antibiotics in livestock nutrition may develop risk to human health. Consequently, considerable efforts have been devoted towards developing alternatives to antibiotics. Plant extracts offer a unique opportunity in this regard, as many plants produce secondary metabolites, such as saponins and tannins, which have antimicrobial properties. These compounds have properties to modulate rumen fermentation to improve nutrient utilization. Antimicrobial activity of essential oils (EO), their active components and secondary metabolites has potential to manipulate rumen microbial fermentation to improve production efficiency. EO is not true oils and they are commonly derived from the components responsible for fragrance of plants. Essential oils are considered safe for human and animal consumption. The antimicrobial properties of EO have been demonstrated against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, protozoa and, fungi. Essential oils have also been exploited for their activity against a wide variety of food-borne pathogens. Ruminant microbiologists 08

Essential oils, also known as volatile or ethereal oils, occur in edible, medicinal, and herbal plants. These aromatic compounds commonly extracted by steam distillation or solvent extraction. Essentialoils can be extracted from plant, including the leaves, flowers, stem, seeds, roots and bark. However, the composition of the EO can vary among different parts of the same plants. For instance, EO obtained from the seeds of coriander (Cori and rumsativum) have a different composition from the EO of cilantro, which is obtained from the immature leaves. Mode of action Plant secondary metabolites, including EO, interact with a wide variety of cellular components and can modulate response at their targets; these compounds have the ability to modulate a large number of cellular targets. EO has potentially to benefit ruminant production, antimicrobial activities by interacting with processes associated with the bacterial cell membrane, including electron transport,ion gradients, protein translocation, phosphorylation, and other enzyme-dependent reactions showed that thymol from thyme oil (Thymus vulgaris) and carvacrol from oregano oil (Origanum vulgaris) both disrupt the cell membrane thereby decreasing the intracellular ATP pool and increasing the extracellular ATP pool in E. coli. Essential oil also have a high affinity for lipids of bacterial cell membranes and their antibacterial properties are evidently associated with their lipophilic character. Gram-positive bacteria appears to be more susceptible to the antibacterial

properties of plant EO compounds than Gram-negative bacteria. Gramnegative bacteria cell wall has an outer layer acts as a permeability barrier, limiting the access of hydrophobic compounds. However, phenolics thymol and caravacrol also inhibited growth of Gram-negative bacteria by disrupting the outer cell membrane. Whereas, small molecular weight of EO allows them to penetrate the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Effects on rumen microbial fermentation Essential oils have potential to manipulate ruminal fermentation by inhibiting growth and metabolism of rumen microbes. Essential oils greatly influence their effects on activity of ruminal microorganisms. Essential oils also have potential to improve ruminal N and energy u t i l i z a t i o n . Sy m b i o s i s b e t w e e n ruminants and their microflora ruminants have unique capacity being able to utilize non-protein sources of N as nutrients. The microbial protein that flows from the rumen to the small intestine provides the host with an excellent source of amino acids (AA) for synthesis of milk and meat proteins. However, the microbial proteins synthesized in the rumen are not sufficient to support the AA requirements of high producing ruminants. Consequently, diets are usually supplemented with sources of feed protein, but such practices can increase feed costs. Furthermore, DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 15 | NO. - 6 | June 2018

observed that thymol (400 mg/l), a main component of EO derived from Thymus and Origanum plants, was a strong inhibitor of methane in vitro, but acetate and propionate concentrations also decreased. Conclusions

ineﬃcient N utilization by ruminants results in excretion of N-rich wastes to the environment. Some scientist estimated that about 0.3 of the N consumed by the dairy cow is excreted in urine. Therefore, improving N utilization has a positive impact on eﬃciency of animal production and on the environment. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and its release into the atmosphere is directly linked with animal agriculture, particularly ruminant production. The antimicrobial activity of essential oil reduces methane production without a concomitant reduction in feed digestion. Researcher

Plant-derived EO may be a useful means to improve eﬃciency of nutrient utilization in ruminants and reduce the impact of their production on the environment. Essential oils and their active components may favorably alter ruminal fermentation. At high doses, Essential oils and their constituents may inhibit deamination of AA and reduce methane productionin the rumen. However, long-term studiessuggest that beneﬁts associated with Essential oils diminish over time due to shifts in

tissues should be buried or burned. Wearing gloves and protective eyewear when assisting in birth and washing hands thoroughly afterward are recommended. Pregnant women should not assist in birth. Unpasteurized milk products should be avoided. Prevention Strategies Ÿ

Cow health: Good health and disease control reduces or eliminates the risk of infection.

Education: Make sure that the dairy personnel, especially new employees without livestock experience, know what zoonotic diseases are and how to prevent them. You should work with your veterinarian or Michigan State University Extension educator to provide the education for your workers.

Use of personal protective equipment: Dairy personal should

Consequently, it may bediﬃcult to continue to realize beneﬁts from Essential oils throughout the feeding or lactation period.Several studies have shown that essential oils possess strong bactericidal activity against several food born pathogens.

wear coveralls or dedicated work clothes, boots and gloves. If possible, work clothing should be washed and kept at the farm. In some cases, mask and googles might be necessary. Ÿ

Hygiene: Wash hands after working with animals or with equipment that is in contact with animals, do not eat or drink while working with animals and store work clothes and boots outside the house. If possible, workers should change clothes and footwear, and shower before returning home, or at least as soon as they get home and before coming in contact with relatives and pets. Children and the

elderly, as well as immunocompromised individuals or those with chronic illnesses are more susceptible to infectious diseases than healthy adults. Even if a zoonotic pathogen does not cause you to show signs of disease, you could spread that disease to your family and friends. Ÿ

Unpasteurized milk: Do not allow employees to drink unpasteurized milk or colostrum from the farm. Unpasteurized milk consumption could potentially cause infections with tuberculosis, salmonella, brucellosis or E. coli.

RAINY SEASON IS A CHALLENGING SEASON FOR LIVESTOCK'S In rainy season most of the animals suffers from mixed bacterial infections majority of animals affected with Gastro intestinal tract infection . Acidosis is one of the challenging condition which often noticed in rainy season. In a normal, healthy rumen, lactic acid production equals lactic acid use. Thus, lactic acid is rarely detectable in a healthy rumen. However, a number of different factors can easily lead to an imbalance in lactic acid metabolism resulting in acute or sub-acute acidosis. Etiology a. Diet too high in fermentable carbohydrates b. Too high Concentrate: Forage ratio c. Too fast a switch from high forage to high concentrate d. Too fast a switch from silage to high levels of green chop forage e. Low fiber content in diet f. Diet composed of very wet and highly fermented feeds g. Too finely chopped forage h. Mycotoxins One of the most common causes of acidosis occurs when switching from a high fiber to high concentrate diet that is rich in fermentable carbohydrates (starches and sugars). Large amounts of starch and sugar stimulate bacteria that make lactic acid. In this instance, bacteria that normally use lactic acid cannot keep up with production. The amount of acidity in the rumen is measured by pH readings. The optimal rumen pH should be between 6.2 and 6.7, but there is daily fluctuation below this level even in healthy cows. Lactic acid is about ten times a stronger acid than the other rumen acids and causes the rumen pH to decrease. As the rumen pH drops below 6.0, bacteria that digest fiber begin to die and thus, fiber digestion is depressed. Because the end products of fiber digestion are 10

used for milk fat synthesis, a drop in milk fat test is a sure sign of acidosis. In, addition, the accumulation of acid causes an influx of water from the tissues into the gut and thus a common sign of acidosis is diarrhea. If the rumen pH continues to decline and falls below 5.5, many other normal healthy rumen bacteria also begin to die. As lactic acid accumulates, it is absorbed and lowers the pH of the blood. High levels of acid in the gut can also cause ulcers in the rumen resulting in infiltration of bacteria into the blood that can cause liver abscesses. Endo-toxins resulting from high acid production in the rumen also affects blood capillaries in the hoof, causing them to constrict resulting in laminitis. Sub-acute acidosis is also characterized by cycling intake because animals eat less during times of distress, then if the rumen adapts, their appetite returns. If blood pH drops too low, this can result in death of the animal in acute acidosis. Another common cause of acidosis is having diets too low in effective fiber or too small particle size. When animals don't chew their cud normally, lack of saliva (that contains a natural buffer) contributes to low rumen pH.In some cases it is found that some mycotoxins can alter the metabolism of lactic acid causing it to build up and cause acidosis. This may explain why acidosis and laminitis are also commonly observed when mycotoxins are a problem.

Disturb rumen Microflora, Low rumen pH . Prevention In my opinion, a low milk fat test (less than 3.3 to 3.0%) is one of the best measures of acidosis. Fat tests less than 2.7 to 2.8% will more than likely be accompanied by cows with laminitis. In order to prevent acidosis good management practices are needed to prevent the situations Buffers are useful in keeping rumen pH high, especially in corn silage-based diets. Use common sense when changing diets and ensure that there is effective fiber in your diets for production of saliva. Treatments :-Rumen FS powder 100 gm /day /animal is advisable for 4 to 5 days In case of small ruminant's 25 gm /day /animal for 4 to 5 days For optimum result Rumen FS bolus is also advisable @ of 2 bolus twice daily for3 to 5 days Balance diet and standard management practices are key factor to avoid above .condition . For other gastro intestinal related conditions Moxel is the ideal choice ( Amoxicillin + Cloxacillin combination ) @ 10 mg /Kg body Wight.

NEWS DAIRY MAY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY: STUDY

ccording to a study presented at the European Congress on Obesity, milk and dairy products do not promote childhood obesity, contrary to popular belief. A team of researchers came to a conclusion after a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence over the last 27 years. According to the researchers, an important finding was the consistency of findings across different types of milk and dairy products and age groups. The results should alleviate any concerns

that parents may have about limiting their children's consumption of milk and dairy products on the grounds that they might promote obesity. It is wellknown that dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese are nutrient-rich foods that provide many essential nutrients throughout life. Previous reviews have shown that milk and dairy are not associated with childhood obesity. But whether milk and dairy products promote obesity in children continued to be hotly debated, and public health advice about how much milk and dairy children need, and when to stop having it, remained unclear. For the study, analysis of 95 trials involving about two lakh individuals showed that milk and dairy products were not associated with body fatness in

children. The researchers found no evidence to suggest that body fatness varied by type of milk or dairy products, or with age of the children. The researchers acknowledged a lack of data in children aged one to five years old. Only nine studies, of which two assessed milk proteins as components of dairy, found a positive link between dairy products and body fatness. The researchers, however, concluded that there is not harmful effect on obesity from incorporating dairy products and especially milk in the diet of children and adolescents. These results call into question current recommendations that restrict consumption of milk and dairy products. The new and emerging range of products has yet to be evaluated in scientific studies.

AMUL EYES NEARLY RS 50,000-CRORE GROUP TURNOVER IN FY19

airy co-operative Amul is aiming to grow at 20 per cent this financial year, to touch a group turnover of close to Rs 50,000 crore, on the back of growing consumer portfolio, premiumisation and rising demand, a top company official said. The Amul brand, which clocked a turnover of over Rs 40,000 crore last financial year, will grow at 20 per cent this year," RS Sodhi, the managing director of Gujarat Co-operative Milk 14

Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets milk and milk products under the Amul brand, told PTI here. We are launching several consumer products, and are also premiumising our oﬀerings. The growing demand will help us see a good growth this year,he added. The Amul brand includes the 18 member dairies of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). GCMMF, however, registered only 8 per cent increase in turnover to Rs 29,220 crore in ﬁnancial year 2017-2018, owing to a decline in commodity prices. The consumer product portfolio has been growing at nearly 15 per cent on a volume basis, Sodhi pointed out, which has helped the performance of the Amul's branded

products, despite lower commodity prices. Branded consumer products have registered a growth of 14 per cent in the last ﬁnancial year, with products such as cheese, butter, milk beverages, paneer, cream, buttermilk and dahi having grown at 20-40 per cent, Sodhi saidThe 18 member unions of GCMMF has a farmer strength of more than 36 lakh across 18,700 villages of Gujarat, and is procuring on an average 211 lakhs litres of milk per day which is 20 per cent higher than the previous year. The co-operative has also recently tied up with the government and lenders, under the Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana, to procure easy loans for its farmer partners.The scheme will help rural entrepreneurs immensely, to upgrade their facilities and will also help distributors and transporters. It will enhance the overall employment opportunities in rural India, Sodhi said. DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 15 | NO. - 6 | June 2018

NEWS WHY CANADIAN MILK INFURIATES DONALD TRUMP

n the midst of what appears to be a fullblown trade war between Canada and the US over steel and aluminum, and with Donald Trump taking his first steps on Canadian soil for the G7 summit, a familiar bugbear reappeared to haunt the negotiations. Whatever understanding Canada and the US may (or may not) have come to on their high-value trade in lumber or auto parts, they remain implacably opposed on the comparatively minor matter of milk. Trump has attacked Canada’s protected dairy industry before, calling it a “disgrace” and blaming it for widespread hardship among US farmers. Although the entire trade in dairy products between the two countries is worth less than US$600m, ideological division has sharpened the ongoing dispute. His negotiators have demanded the dismantlement of Canada’s openly dirigiste system of supply management in agriculture – a complicated nexus of production quotas and import tariffs designed to ensure Canadian dairy, egg and poultry farmers receive fair prices for their products. But the Canadians are no less determined to retain one of the last vestiges of their otherwiseabandoned collectivist traditions. Canadian cows are sacred, and the farmers who care for them enjoy outsized influence in national politics. Expert observers have said that Justin Tr u d e a u ’ s g o v e r n m e n t w o u l d abandon the treaty altogether before sacrificing supply management. It’s just too sensitive for the Canadians,” Kevin Carmichael, a senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Waterloo, recently told CNBC news. Even so, the Trudeau government recently alarmed Canadian farmers by signaling a willingness to give on the issue in the face of insistent US demands. The dispute has acquired new urgency as the US dairy industry continues to suffer from a deep crisis of persistent overproduction, with farmers sinking into insolvency as farm-gate milk prices stick stubbornly below the cost of production. Last year, US farmers dumped almost 100m gallons of surplus milk. Recently, a surge in dairy-farmer suicides has caused national alarm, drawing attention to what the New York Times called “the widespread 15

hopelessness aﬄicting the industry. Representing a state suﬀering especially hard from farm failures and suicides, the US Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, recently echoed his Republican president in blaming Canada for the debacle. “Canada, when it comes to dairy, acts like China when it comes to trade, Schumer told hardpressed farmers in upstate New York. “They’re unfair. They put up barriers. They treat us bad. Meanwhile, just across the St Lawrence river in what free-trading Americans like to call Soviet Canuckistan, the dairy industry is thriving like never before – and like none other in the developed world. Family farms milking an average of 80 cows each have prospered under a heavily regulated system that supports prices at sustainable levels by restricting domestic overproduction and keeping imports at bay. In 2016, Canadian

farmers received an average price of C$0.79 a litre for milk, compared with C$0.49 on average for US farmers. The result is that dairying remains a key economic support of traditional rural life throughout central Canada. As critics of the system like to point out, hoping to inspire resentment among consumers annoyed by the price of milk, Canadian dairy farmers enjoy incomes 60% above average in the country. But to supporters, the uniquely prosperous, protected Canadian dairy industry stands as a model alternative to the increasingly disruptive and unpopular dynamic of unrestricted free trade in all things. Supply management enjoys strong government support in no small part because the policy obviates the need to subsidize farmers directly in the manner of the US and the EU – the two greatest culprits behind the current

world dairy glut. The system works so incredibly well,” said Bruce Muirhead, associate vice-president and professor of history at the University of Waterloo. “And the big thing about supply management is that it doesn’t cost the government a cent. Consumers pay the full cost of production.Domestic critics have called supply management a grotesque distortion of free-market principles, complaining that the comparatively high price of Canadian milk sacrifices the interests of consumers in favour of producers and victimizes the poor. But no consumer or social policy group has taken up the cause, and all six parties currently represented in the House of Commons unanimously support supply management.As do Canadian consumers: an Ipsos poll this year by the Dairy Farmers of Canada reported that 75% of Canadians support even greater government efforts to defend the industry in the face of current US demands.As the trade minister, Chrystia Freeland, has pointed out, trade data flatly contradicts the claim that Canadian supply management is ravaging US dairyland – either because it unfairly restricts imports or because it dumps a subsidized surplus in US markets. In 2016, Canada imported dairy products from the US worth five times more than the small amount it exported there. “I would call that a pretty good deal,” she told the House of Commons.Canadian farmers point out that despite the tariffs that protect them, imports make up 10% of thecountry’s dairy consumption. By contrast, the US restricts dairy imports to 3% of domestic consumption. “That just screams hypocrisy to me,” Muirhead said. “I don’t understand how they can get away with these positions.As a recent visitor to Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland”, where low prices are forcing the closure of hundreds of dairy farms a year, Muirhead said he encountered no resentment against Canada among local farmers. “The president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union told me that what they really wanted was a supply-managed system like ours,” he said.

n Maharashtra, the state government has ﬁxed a minimum Rs 27 per litre of milk. However, dairy farmers often complain of rampant exploitation by dairies, which refuse to pay more than Rs 17 to 20 per litre, To ensure higher remuneration to dairy farmers, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday urged the Centre to announce a Minimum Support Price (MSP) for them under the Essential Commodities Act. Fadnavis raised the demand at the Niti Aayog’s fourth governing council meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Sunday. Highlighting the exploitation of dairy farmers by milk companies and cooperatives, he said, “The Centre should announce an MSP for milk procured from dairy farmers by private players and cooperatives, which run the dairies across the country and Maharashtra, under the Essential Commodities Act. In Maharashtra, the state government has ﬁxed a minimum Rs 27 per litre of milk. However, dairy farmers often complain of rampant exploitation by dairies, which refuse to pay more than Rs 17 to 20 per litre. To raise the milk demand and promote milk processing units for skimmed milk

powder, the state government has announced a Rs 3 subsidy. To help the dairy farmers and make milk processing economically feasible and generate more demand in the market, the chief minister suggested the Centre should provide a 10 per cent subsidy. In the wake of surplus sugar production in the state and across the country, the chief minister demanded restructuring and extension of tenure for repayment of the soft loans availed by the mill owners. Of the total 31.7 million tonne sugar production, Maharashtra accounts for 10.7 million tonne. Fadnavis also pitched for higher Budget allocations to modernise 3,500 gramin haats (rural markets) across Maharashtra. For this, the Centre should make provisions from the AgroInfra Fund, he said. “Gramin haats are important centres for boosting the rural economy. It is a platform where farmers can market their farm produce. It would help in better remuneration to the farmers and villagers,” he said.

NEWS AVOIDING MEAT AND DAIRY IS 'SINGLE BIGGEST WAY' TO REDUCE YOUR IMPACT ON EARTH

voiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet.The new research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife. The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, it uses the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans. The scientists also found that even the very lowest impact meat and dairy products still cause much more environmental harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing. The study, published in the journal Science, created a huge dataset based on almost 40,000 farms in 119 countries and covering 40 food products that represent 90% of all that is eaten. It assessed the full impact of these foods, from farm to fork, on land use, climate change emissions, freshwater use and water pollution (eutrophication) and air pollution (acidification).A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gases, but global acidification, eutrophication, land use and water use,” said Joseph Poore, at the University of Oxford, UK, who led the research. “It is far bigger than cutting down on your flights or buying an electric car,” he said, as these only 18

cut greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture is a sector that spans all the multitude of environmental problems,” he said. “Really it is animal products that are responsible for so much of this. Avoiding consumption of animal products delivers far better environmental benefits than trying to purchase sustainable meat and dairy.The analysis also revealed a huge variability between different ways of producing the same food. For example, beef cattle raised on deforested land result in 12 times more greenhouse gases and use 50 times more land than those grazing rich natural pasture. But the comparison of beef with plant protein such as peas is stark, with even the lowest impact beef responsible for six times more greenhouse gases and 36 times more land. The large variability in environmental impact from different farms does present an opportunity for reducing the harm, Poore said, without needing the global population to become vegan. If the most harmful half of meat and dairy production was replaced by plant-based food, this still delivers about two-thirds of the benefits of getting rid of all meat and dairy production.Cutting the environmental impact of farming is not easy, Poore warned: “There are over 570m farms all of which need slightly different ways to reduce their impact. It is an [environmental] challenge like no other sector of the economy.” But he said at least $500bn is spent every year on agricultural subsidies, and probably much more: “There is a lot of money there to do something really good with. Labels that reveal the impact of products would be a good start, so consumers could choose the least damaging options, he said, but subsidies for sustainable and healthy

foods and taxes on meat and dairy will probably also be necessary. One surprise from the work was the large impact of freshwater fish farming, which provides two-thirds of such fish in Asia and 96% in Europe, and was thought to be relatively environmentally friendly. “You get all these fish depositing excreta and unconsumed feed down to the bottom of the pond, where there is barely any oxygen, making it the perfect environment for methane production, a potent greenhouse gas, Poore said.The research also found grass-fed beef, thought to be relatively low impact, was still responsible for much higher impacts than plant-based food. “Converting grass into [meat] is like converting coal to energy. It comes with an immense cost in emissions,” Poore said.The new research has received strong praise from other food experts. Prof Gidon Eshel, at Bard College, US, said: “I was awestruck. It is really important, sound, ambitious, revealing and beautifully done.He said previous work on quantifying farming’s impacts, including his own, had taken a topdown approach using national level data, but the new work used a bottomup approach, with farm-by-farm data. “It is very reassuring to see they yield essentially the same results. But the new work has very many important details that are profoundly revealing. Prof Tim Benton, at the University of Leeds, UK, said: “This is an immensely useful study. It brings together a huge amount of data and that makes its conclusions much more robust. DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 15 | NO. - 6 | June 2018

NEWS HOW THE DAIRY INDUSTRY COMPLICATES THE QUEST FOR BETTER BUTTER Canadian bakeries and foreign butter

y family was planning a trip to France and before we left, a foodie friend told me that I had to try French butter. Of all the possible foods to try in France, it seemed an odd recommendation. After all, butter is butter, right?That turned out to be a very Canadian point of view.When we arrived in Normandy and settled into our rented house, I headed to the store — not a charming French épicerie, but a brightly lit supermarket with kids' toys, two-euro wine and lots of fruit wrapped in plastic. As I turned the corner down the dairy aisle, it was as though a choir of angels began to sing. There was so much butter, of all permutations — cultured, uncultured, salted, unsalted, grass-fed and more.The butter in France was amazing, lifechanging. Enough so that I tried to track it down in Canada when I got home — with no luck. Foreign butter is all but impossible to find here. Very little is allowed over the border, which brings us to the current international debate over dairy in Canada.Remember those 270 per cent dairy tariffs Donald Trump was complaining about? That's actually a bit low — foreign butter earns a whopping 298 per cent tariff when it enters this country. Ÿ

Tr u m p ' s t e a r i n g i n t o C a n a d a ' s agricultural policy. Does he have a point?

As international trade politics take aim at our protection of dairy — the quotas that require farmers to only produce as much as Canadians will consume and the tariﬀs that keep foreign dairy, chicken and eggs out of the country — it's worth examining the impact of supply management through one product: the functional, yet underachieving pound of Canadian butter. 20

Yann Blanchard runs a bakery in Calgary, the only one in Canada to hold the Relais Desserts designation, the pastry equivalent of a Michelin star. When Blanchard started his bakery, he tried to use Canadian butter for his pastries but found that it didn't work.Blanchard makes sheets of butter for his croissants, and the sheets need to be perfectly square. He found Canadian butter to be too brittle but also too wet.When you bang it with the rolling pin, you can feel the moisture come in your face, he said. So, we have to put a sheet of paper or plastic over it, so that the moisture doesn't fly everywhere. So, it's not that difficult to find that it's not the same quality. Yann's issue was with the fat content of Canadian butter. It is mandated to be at least 80 per cent fat, which seems plenty high, but is still two per cent lower than standard European butter. European butter also tends to be cultured, meaning active bacteria is added to it before churning, giving it a tangy taste. Ÿ

Calgary chef Yann Blanchard breaks into the French pastry big leagues

Where in the world is the best tasting butter?

Blanchard decided to source higher-fat butter in Canada, no matter the cost, but then had a visit from a foreign butter middleman, a local creamery in Calgary that said it could ﬁnd him some foreign butter at a very good price.This is not back-alley foreign butter but a program from the Canadian Dairy Commission that imports nearly 3,300 tonnes of foreign butter into the country each year — and much of that goes to bakeries.They allow us to import butter. It's weird," said Blanchard. "So, if you go to the supermarket, you as the general public are going to pay more for lesser quality than I am going to get. The local butter business A short drive from Blanchard's shop is a local butter factory called Foothills

Creamery. Foothills is a relatively small operation that produces about five million pounds of butter a year, as well as ice cream that's sold around Western Canada.Cathy Sanders, who manages the plant, is passionate about butter and said Foothills has small enough churns that they can and have tried out different varieties of butter, such as maple, but they haven't quite pinned down the market for non-standard butter varieties. She recently visited a farmer, with grass-fed cows, which tend to produce the rich, yellow butter that is so popular in Ireland. Sanders is hopeful that she can take a piece of the artisanal butter market in Canada, given that Irish butter is hard to find and expensive. As a processor, Foothills is part of the supply management system, with production quotas and limited control over the source of cream that is supplied to churn butter. Ÿ

Calgary butter producer Foothills Creamery can't keep up with demand

From farm to factory, Canadian dairy industry has no time for Trump

But supply management oﬀers Foothills stability. Sanders may not have control over her supply of cream, but knows Foothills will sell its production each year.Like everyone in the dairy industry, Sanders is cautious when talking about supply management. She said that Canadian farmers supply good quality milk, but as a processor, she admitted there would be some upside if dairy was a free market.On the manufacturing side, [a free market] makes sense," said Sanders. "To get my ingredients from wherever I can, for the best price I can. But for the farmer making a living in the industry and making a good quality product, which they do, [supply management] is probably what they need.Sanders pointed out that if the Canadian industry was opened up, it would cause a massive, fundamental change to how farmers operate — in part because of transportation costs. Due to the cost of trucking, in the U.S., new dairy farms tend to be built around processing plants.Trucking is expensive," said Sanders. "And it's a whole cost in our system that we help pay for.

NEWS HINDUSTAN UNILEVER FIGHTS FOR RIGHTS OVER KWALITY WALLS

industan Unilever has dragged Kwality LtdNSE 0.17 % to court claiming sole rights over Kwality Walls, the brand used for HUL's ice creams for over two decades. In a partial relief to the country's largest consumer product company, the Calcutta High Court directed Kwality Ltd to not use the original writing style of Kwality Walls for any of its dairy products, but continue to use its currently operational registered trademark KDIL'S Kwality.

Considering the fact that the defendant (Kwality) has been using the word 'Kwality' in conjunction with other words and was incorporated much before the dispute arose with no objection from the plaintiffs (HULNSE -0.99 %) or any of them, an order of injunction at this stage would cause irreparable prejudice to the defendant compared to that of the plaintiff if not granted at this stage, the following interim order is passed,” observed Justice Soumen Sen while passing an orderET has reviewed the order copy. In the Rs 12,000-crore ice cream market, HUL is the second largest player after Amul with share of over 8% according to Euromonitor. Earlier this month, HUL filed a suit in the Calcutta High Court against Kwality Ltd alleging wrongful appropriation of the trademark. HUL also claimed that use of

the brand name (Kwality) for dairy products, including ﬂavoured milk which can be considered as an extension of ice creams, has resulted in confusion in the market. The court has simply reiterated well established fundamental principles of trademark law, and the order therefore is logical,” said Priyanka Khimani, partner, Anand & Anand & Khimani. Food entrepreneurs Iqbal Ghai and PL Lamba founded the ice cream company under the 'Kwality' brand in preIndependence Delhi in 1940. By early 1980s, the ice cream business was divided into four regions and the brand's trademark was split amongst the proprietors in these territories. Between 1994-95, these diﬀerent proprietors sold all rights along with goodwill of the trademark 'Kwality' to HUL.

ITC ENTERS LIQUID MILK SEGMENT WITH POUCHES UNDER AASHIRVAAD SVASTI BRAND

he company has consciously decided not to focus on the Rs 8 billion Tetra Pak segment. Diversiﬁed conglomerate ITC Ltd has entered the liquid milk segment with pouches.Launched in Munger in Bihar, each of the 500 ml packs is priced at Rs 19 and will compete against products from Amul, Mother Dairy and Sudha, among others. We launched pouch milk under the Aashirvaad Svasti brand two weeks ago in Munger. We have a milk processing plant there,according to Hemant Malik, divisional chief executive of the company’s foods business.Asked if ITC would opt for a national roll-out of its pouch milk, Malik

said, “It will never be national, but we will expand it.The company has set up a separate dedicated distribution channel for milk products. However, it did not share details.The Rs 720 billion pouche milk segment mostly caters to the budget category. The company has consciously decided not to focus on the Rs 8 billion Tetra Pak segment. It is (Tetra Pak milk) very niche. We are talking about a Rs 72,000 crore market,” Malik said, adding the price point and the 500 ml packet size would cater to local needs, since people mostly use milk to make tea and curd in Bihar.Asked about the company’s plans to set up a cold chain, a prerequisite for dairy

If some is left, the seller keeps it in his fridge. They don’t keep it for more than a day.The organised dairy market in the country is dominated by Amul, Nestle and Mother Dairy. But Mailk said the category had enough space for ITC and the market was likely to grow rapidly.

A child below the age of 14 years employed in certain occupations or hazardous process is called child labourer. “The rescued labourers were working with machines in the packaging unit in shifts of eight hours. Working with machines put these child labourers at the risk of injuries and other hazards,” the SDO added. Zala said that milk processing plant falls in the category of factory and therefore labour department will ﬁle a criminal case against RDCMPUL for employing children. “The rescued child labourers are native of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. As of now, we have sent them to Special Home for Boys on Jamnagar road of the

city. “We are planning to hand them over to district child welfare committees of their native districts in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar so that their special care is taken and needs like education etc is addressed,” Zala further added. Govind Ranpariya, chairman of Gopal Dairy said the dairy had not directly employed these children. “They had been engaged by an outsourcing agency. We had not recruited them. After the matter came to light, we have already terminated our contract with the manpower supply agency which had engaged these children,” said Ranpariya.RDCMPUL is a member union of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, the giant dairy cooperative which markets milk and other dairy products of popular Amul brand. Gopal Dairy is one the biggest dairies in Saurasthra in terms of per day milk collection.The team of the SDO also raided two imitation jewellery manufacturing units in Shyamnagar area of the city on Thursday and rescued 24 child labourers.

DEMOCR ACY DAY: DANGOTE TO ESTABLISH DAIRY FARM IN PLATEAU

lateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has expressed desire to key into the ranching policy of the Federal Government, even as he is in advance discussion with the Dangote Group of Companies to establish a dairy farm in the state. Lalong, in a predemocracy day interaction with journalists at the Press Centre in Jos, explained that in establishing the ranches, his administration would not conﬁscate anyone's land as a large expanse of land had already been earmarked in Wase Local Government Area of the state and approved by the Federal Government for the purpose. He assured 24

the citizens that the planned dairy farm had made it imperative for his administration to put plans in place to renovate and have modern slaughter slabs to ensure a clean environment for the business. The governor also informed that in the last three years, his administration had spent N22 bilion on the rehabilitation of federal roads across the state and was awaiting the signing of the federal budget for the said money to be refunded as President Muhammadu Buhari had given approval for the refund. According to him, “we have been sincere in governance. My administration is aware of

the challenges in the state, part of which prevented us from conducting the local government election. We will not keep postponing election. We are tackling the herders/farmers issues that is why we are opting for ranching policy. “This does not mean we want to get people's lands. There is a large portion of land in Wase set aside for the purpose and Federal Government has inspected the place. DAIRY PLANNER | VOL. 15 | NO. - 6 | June 2018

NEWS MAHARASHTRA: DAIRY FARMERS' IN A UNIQUE PROTEST TO DELIVER FREE MILK AT COLLECTOR'S OFFICE

rmers in Maharashtra allege they running losses for the last many months and their repeated demands have fallen on deaf ears of the state government. Fadnavis government has failed to implement its promise of raising milk procurement rates," farmer told news agency ANI. At a protest rally, dairy farmers in Aurangabad said on Monday, "We have to sell milk at Rs. 17. We had demanded a base price of Rs. 50 per litre but government has fixed the procurement price at Rs. 27. We're running into losses. So in protest, we'll distribute milk at the collector offices free of cost from May 3-9. Reports suggest the Left-affiliated All Indian Kisan Sabha (AIKS) plans to block milk supplies to cities across Maharashtra including Mumbai and Pune, unless their demands are met. Ajit Nawale,

who played a leading role during the 'Farmers Long March' on March 11-12, said the state government has not yet increased milk procurement prices to Rs. 27 per litre and the cooperatives were not paying the farmers. A year ago farmers in Nagpur poured thousands of litres of milk on the roads, protesting against the Maharashtra government, for not ﬁxing procurement rates. The Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh, which is the umbrella body of 110 farmers' groups have decided to go on nationwide "gaon bandh" protest from June 1 to June 10. The RKM has put forward three demands to the centre implementation of complete loan waiver, 50 per cent increase in C2 or the sum of paid out cost and ﬁx minimum support price. The farmers' body has said they will observe June 5 as "shame

day", they will not send their produce to cities nor will they consume it. On June 6, farmers will pay tribute to those who died during protests in Madhya Pradesh's Mandsaur and on June 8, they will observe nationwide unsupportive day. Farmers led by the AIKS in Maharashtra have also planned protests against land acquisition for the ﬁrst bullet train project in the country. On May 3, farmers, mostly tribals, will gather in Palghar to protest the land acquisition. The bullet train corridor in Maharashtra will start at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai and pass through Thane and Palghar districts.

NEWS SAMPLES OF MOTHER DAIRY AND AMUL FOUND TO BE OF SUBSTANDARD QUALITY: SATYENDRA JAIN

amples of prominent milk brands such as Mother Dairy and Amul have been found to be of substandard quality, Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain today said, asserting that such violations would attract strict penalties. He said 21 samples of milk, out of the total 165 tested, including of these two prominent brands, were found to be of substandard quality. The drive, which started on April 13, also took three samples of ghee for testing, and found one, of a local brand, unsafe, the minister said. The issue was raised in the Assembly and I gave directions to test samples of the milk in Delhi. We have taken a total of 177 samples across Delhi, including branded and local products. Reports of 165 have come out, and out of these, 21 samples (including Mother Dairy and Amul) have failed for their substandard quality, which does not mean they are unsafe," Jain told reporters. He said the

term substandard could mean two things. One is fake (unsafe) and the other one is where it does not meet the prescribed requirement (safe, but falls short of some content, like fats for example), he said.Most of the failed samples, during this drive, were found to be adulterated with milk powder, he added. Jain, however, said all cases would be submitted to the court and the drive would continue with its ambit being extended to all milk products. Earlier, there were four food inspectors and now 18 of them have newly joined for the drive and will be on the ﬁeld on a daily basis," he said, adding that parameters mentioned by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) were followed in the drive. Asked about the punishment for violations, Jain said in case of substandard milk there would be a penalty ranging between Rs 5,000 and Rs 5 lakh.However, he said it won't be the case if a product was found to be unsafe. If (the sample is) unsafe, like a sample that was found unsafe in ghee, there can be imprisonment from six months to three years," he said.A Mother Dairy spokesperson said, "We

are yet to receive the findings of the samples tested by the authorities. Hence, it would be inappropriate to comment further. However, we would like to state that each batch of Mother Dairy milk undergoes stringent quality tests at four levels to ensure safe and quality milk is made available for consumption," the spokesperson said. In addition, they recently received Quality Mark certification for all poly pack milk variants sold in Delhi- NCR to ensure the consumers of 100 per cent conformance to the prescribed norms, the spokesperson said in a statement. Amul Managing Director R S Sondhi said, "Still the details and official report is not available, what is mentioned is ot defective but substandard (variation), which means fat or protein may have varied.In Amul, we maintain higher standards than that recommended by the FSSAI, so variation (substandard) is not possible. However while sampling or testing if proper care and process is not fully follwed, such variation may occur. We shall await the detailed report and then can give a complete reply, Sondhi said.

WOMEN-RUN DAIRY SOCIETY BRINGING 'MILK REVOLUTION' IN RAJASTHAN'S BHILAWARA

women-run dairy cooperative society in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district is scripting a happy story for women here who have milked proﬁt out of the venture. The micro-dairy in nondescript Dhapda village of Mandal block, started in 2014, milks nearly 2 to 2.5 lakh litres per month from 1500 litres milk collected from nearly 200 households on a daily basis. Buoyed by the success in dairy, the society has now entered into the market of spices. The Dhapda Masala Udhyog Samiti was set-up in 2016, which earns 30,000 to 35,000 monthly for the 26

society. Women are paid Rs. 20 per hour for grinding spices manually. They sell turmeric, chilly and coriander powder in the Bhilwara and also in the local market. Hemlata Rawat, 45, is the force behind the 'milk revolution' in the district.In 2012, Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) had developed pasture land development committee in a neighbouring village. They organised a visit to Bhilwara dairy, which inspired me to do something in the ﬁeld, Rawat said. She started with one cow and later motivated other women of the village

after which a dairy cooperative society with 11 women members was set up. As I started earning from the milk that I sold in the neighbouring Gyangarh village, I purchased more cows and also motivated women to contribute, which helped them to stand on their feet, she said. Recognising the eﬀorts of the Dhapda Dugdh Utpadak Sahkari Samiti, Bhilwara district started procuring the milk and also set up bulk coolers in Dhapda village for t he preservation of milk.

MAGIC VALLEY DAIRY USING ROBOTS TO HELP IN MILK PRODUCTION

hairmen of dairies aﬃliated to Rajasthan Cooperative Milk Unions visited the Banaskantha District Milk Producers' Co-operative Union, popularly known as Banas Dairy, here on Thursday. they were deeply impressed the way the dairy has been ﬂourishing both in milk and honey production. They visited Dipda village of Lakhni taluka to get on-the-spot knowledge regarding processing of honey production. They also praised the fodder plant at Kotrva village, which has 1,000 tonnes output a day, besides two milk processing and by-product plants. They were also apprised about the technology and innovative practices adopted by the Asia's biggest dairy to enhance farmers' income and make quality dairy products. The visit was arranged at the insistence of Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje Scindia.

n their latest facility that was built two years ago, owner Jerimy Craig said they produce a little more than 300,000 to 310,000 gallons of milk per day from that facility. The dairy has three facilities that it produces milk out of.The dairy originally had eight facilities that produced milk, but the newest one that is two years old replaced four old facilities. The first robot we put in was a postdipping robot, he said.The robot cleans the cattle after they finish milking.All it is is a sanitizer, a disinfectant. Keeps cows from getting mastitis and other health problems, said Chip Craig, the general manager of the dairy. Jerimy said they bought the second robot about a year and a half after buying the first one. That machinery is pre-dipping, cleaning before cattle milk.It has a little more job to do. So it'll go in, spray the animal and try to scrub her clean as well. It spends a little more time under there, he said. He

said one of the main reasons they bought the machinery was to reduce labor force.That robot reduced three positions, a man on every shift," he said. "That robot does the same job every single time, even if it's wrong, it still does it the same way. That's something that cows like is consistency.Jerimy said the labor force is getting tougher and tougher, saying that it's hard ﬁnding people that want to do that job and wanting to do it correctly as well.If you're retraining people constantly, it's no good for us or the cows, so we chose to use robots. I'm not retraining them every day, Chip said. While Jerimy said it was expensive, it paid oﬀ on the labor side.You can't really put a price on what it does. If you spray the animal correctly every single day, our somatic cell in this facility, our cow health in this facility is great," he said.
