While efforts are put into testing milk available in the market, we often forget the cows and buffaloes, which are the primary producers of milk, and the food safety measures that need to be ensured at dairies and animal farms.<br /> <br /> Milk is approximately 80% water and the quality of milk produced by cattle is as good or bad as the water it consumes. In villages, the water meant for cattle consumption is not of very good quality and is unsafe for human consumption. It is laced with lead, zinc, iron, virus and bacterial content. One cannot expect good-quality milk from a cow or buffalo if it drinks this water. <br /> <br /> In a majority of dairies located on the peripheries of cities, farm animals do not get sunlight and fresh air inside the crammed concrete halls that function as dairies. Twenty or more cattle on cracked, uneven floors with heaps of dung and urine all around is considered as an acceptable way to raise sentient beings. They are fed with stale bread, injected with oxytocin to extract milk and kept on heavy doses of antibiotics. Since animals are milked at the same place, the milk gets contaminated with dung, urine and dead flies. The final product is supplied directly to sweet shops and households that prefer high fat milk for consumption and manufacturing.

Twenty or more cattle on cracked, uneven floors with heaps of dung and urine all around is considered as an acceptable way to raise sentient beings. They are fed with stale bread, injected with oxytocin to extract milk and kept on heavy doses of antibiotics. Since animals are milked at the same place, the milk gets contaminated with dung, urine and dead flies.

Strong management at the local dairy level will prevent contamination -Khushboo Gupta |
-Hindustan Times
It is good to see Harsh Vardhan, Union minister for science and technology, apprising members of the Lok Sabha on adulterated milk, which has become a part of our diet. However, like many previous mentions of the issue, this one also missed the point: Contamination due to management practices. While efforts are put into testing milk available in the market, we often forget the cows and buffaloes, which are the primary producers of milk, and the food safety measures that need to be ensured at dairies and animal farms. Milk is approximately 80% water and the quality of milk produced by cattle is as good or bad as the water it consumes. In villages, the water meant for cattle consumption is not of very good quality and is unsafe for human consumption. It is laced with lead, zinc, iron, virus and bacterial content. One cannot expect good-quality milk from a cow or buffalo if it drinks this water. In a majority of dairies located on the peripheries of cities, farm animals do not get sunlight and fresh air inside the crammed concrete halls that function as dairies. Twenty or more cattle on cracked, uneven floors with heaps of dung and urine all around is considered as an acceptable way to raise sentient beings. They are fed with stale bread, injected with oxytocin to extract milk and kept on heavy doses of antibiotics. Since animals are milked at the same place, the milk gets contaminated with dung, urine and dead flies.
