 Dairy foods
Ø
Ø Food products of animal origin consumed by
human beings for sustenance
Ø Supplement vegetable proteins in modern
balanced dietary concept
Ø Classified as protective foods
Ø Excellent nutritional value

 Significance of Dairy Processing
Ø
ØEfficiency of animal production largely
dependent on efficient processing and utilization
of produce
ØA correlation exists between the livestock
products consumption and socio-economic status
ØAptest way of minimizing losses occurring due
to regional and seasonal imbalances
ØFood and Nutritional security
ØAlleviation of the problems of mal-nutrition
ØEmployment generation
 Current Status

 Unusual experience of price fluctuations

 Milk prices reached a historical peak in 2007and fell
to their lowest levels in mid 2009
 World milk production in 2009 @ 695MT (0.8% )
 Cow-84%(580MT),Buffalo-13%(87.5MT)
 Annual growth rate from 3.1(2005) to 2.1%(2008)
 Processing capacities slowly increasing world wide
 366MT processed during 2008-09 (53% of total world
milk production)
 In North America,EU-15,Japan = ~100%
 Eastern Europe share is lower
 Russia.India,Pakistan,south America share is
substanciallylow


Milk Powder production dominating with strong
growth rate @ ~ 9%
World trade in dairy products in 2008 - 42 MT(1.2
MT less than previous year
Biggest producers –EU, NZ (60% of market share)

 Cottage Dairy Industry (CDI) concept

-Potential to alleviate poverty and improve

nutritional security
-Promising employment opportunities
-Provides income on a daily basis
-Provides salubrious milk for consumption
 CDI defined

 An occupation of farmers generally landless or
with very small cultivable land that can not
be used for raising animals for commercial
milk production.
 These farmers keep 3-5 animals for milk, meat
and power source requirements
 CDI – Opportunities
 Supplements agriculture as it is more
dependable
 Provides perennial source of income than crop
production
 Work force in animal management doubled
compared to crop production
 Contribution of livestock to GDP increased
from 4.8 to 5.5% in last 2 decades
 Unemployed family members (women) get
employed
 Money earned used for upkeep of animals as
well as family
 Minimum land use

 CDI – Challenges

 Milk production per animal low
 Farmers with small land holdings
 Milk producers clustered in a village
 Villages scattered and away from urban
consumption centers
 Organization of this scatter to weave a network
making the system work as an industry
 Regular payment to producers
 Assured veterinary health care and insurance
 Building infrastructure-roads & telecom
 Networking Veterinarians in emergencies
 Assured marketing backup
