The diagram illustrates the sequential stages involved in the production of milk and its derived products.
Overall, the process commences with the grazing of cows and culminates in the distribution of finished dairy goods to retails outlets such as supermarkets and shops. It consists of seven distinct stages; grazing, milking, cooling, transportation, processing, packaging, and distribution.
The initial phase involves cows grazing in pastures, following which they are milked by a milking machine, a procedure that occurs twice daily. Subsequently, the collected raw milk is stored in the refrigerated tanks. On a daily basis, the milk is transported to dairy factory by a milk tanker.
After being delivered, the milk undergoes pasteurization and is then packaged. In parallel, the milk is also used for the manufacture of various dairy products, including cheese, cream, and butter. Finally, both the packaged milk and the processed dairy items are distributed to supermarkets and shops.
