| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Factors involved in the production of clean milk at the farm | • Health of the animals • Health of the workers • Premises- construction, location, cleanliness • Water supply • Utensils • Milking machine • Methods to prevent contamination |
| Methods to prevent contamination | • Pest control • Dust control • Contamination Control |
| Activities in dairy plant | • Milk delivered to the dairy plant • Weighing and conduct of platform tests • Transfer of milk through pipelines for pumping into coolers • Cooling of milk |
| Activities in dairy plant | • Storage • Clarification • Pasteurization • Homogenization • Bottling/packaging/processing |
