Background
The dairy industry in Malaysia is mainly dependent on imported milk and milk products. The self-sufficiency for dairy product is 4.5%. In an effort to boost the local dairy industry, the government through the Department of Veterinary Services embarked on a crossbreeding project using 50% Sahiwal with 50% Friesian crossbreds imported from Australia and New Zealand. Through inter-se mating and backcrossing, a number of Sahiwal-Friesian crossbred groups with 50 to 75% Friesian genes have been produced. This study was carried out to evaluate some of the genetic and non-genetic factors influencing milk production and reproductive performances of these Sahiwal-Friesian breed groups.
The dairy industry is the sector with the highest degree of protection due to the economically vulnerable position of small milk producers. Milk also known as white gold, which can be used to make an enormous variety of high quality products. The high cost of milk as a raw material has necessitated a high-tech processing industry. The special nature of milk (perishable and bulky) leads to the necessity of strict and comprehensive quality regulation and to high transport costs. The large dependence of milk producers in the dairy processing industry has resulted in a strong position held by the co-operatives in milk marketing and in the processing industry.
One of the leading company in the diary industry is Dutch Lady Milk Industries Berhad and this company will be discussed in the following. Dutch Lady Milk Industries Berhad (Dutch Lady Malaysia), has been a manufacturer of dairy products in Malaysia since the 1950s and was previously under Royal Friesland Foods, a Netherlands-based multinational cooperative that dates back to 1879.

Government involvement with global milk sourcing and pricing
Single-serve, consumer convenient products in sustainable packaging
Consumer’s acceptance of non-refrigerated dairy products
Programs aimed at increasing milk consumption
More dairy buyouts and consolidations – both mega farms and mega processors
Finding skilled labour to run higher technology equipment
The emergence of the stand-up pouch in dairy products.
Voice of the Dairy Industry
The partnership with MTSU allowed the Hatcher’s to test the local market and perfect their processing processes. The Hatcher’s began selling their milk through their newly constructed farm store and local farmers markets. Fortunately, the local market proved favorable. As a result, the Hatcher’s built a milk processing plant on their family farm and began bottling milk there.
Shimla Dairy is not among the current leading players in the market. The market leader's (Britannia) production capacity per day is almost 50 times that of Simla Dairy. With nearly 29 varieties of products, Shimla is now trying to increase the product line further. The company currently has 2 plants one at Shimla and the other at Kiarighat with a total capacity of 10000 litres of milk processing. With the Cheese industry slanting towards the growth phase, there is expected to be high increase in the competition, both from the domestic and the foreign players. This gives rise to number issues which concern the management. Which are as stated below:
China’s low class family changed rapidly into the middle class family. Therefore, they cut off the consumption of low standard or inferior goods and move towards the branded products which treated as necessity. Therefore the demand of foreign produced baby formula has risen faster compared to local baby milk. Another economics issue in the article is demand of powdered baby milk increased which leads to the shortage of the product in the market. One factor that affected the demand of baby milk is melamine-tainted baby milk led to the death of six children and caused thousands of children to fall ill. There is also an issue of black market due to the shortage caused by product
Commodity Chain of Milk Milk: Does the body good? That?s about as much as I knew. As a somewhat, well, I?ll admit it- ignorant consumer- I simply thought that milk in the supermarket came from, well? a big, long row of cows somewhere.
There are several factors that go into deciding whether products can be considered safe for consumption. One process in deciding for dair is SCC, or Somatic Cell Count. The SCC is a count of all the white blood cells existing in milk products. If a certain number is reached, the milk is considered infected. An article entitled Somatic Cell Count- Milk Quality Indicator states, “A threshold SCC of 200,000 would determine whether a cow is infected with mastitis… Cows infected with a significant pathogen have an SCC of 300,000 or greater” (“Somatic Cell Count”). It is also stated that in Europe, “milk with an SCC of more that 400,000 is deemed unfit for human consumption” (“Somatic Cell Count”). While 400,000 is considered unsafe in Europe, The United States Department of Agriculture allows for “Grade A milk shipments” to have a maximum SCC of “750,000 cells/mL” (“Determining U.S. Milk Quality”). It’s questionable what actually is safe for consumption. No mammal other than humans consume milk after infancy, and especially not from other mammals. Needed calcium is easily obtained through consumption of various vegetables and nuts. People just aren’t meant to drink milk. Dairy is the most common food allergy out there. A concept easy enough for kids to understand, an article from Kidshealth.org explains to lactose intolerant children, “[Y}our body starts making less lactase when you’re around 2 years old” (“Lactose Intolerance”). Because at 2 years of age, a person is no longer an infant, and therefore the body thinks that a person isn’t going to be drinking milk anymore. Dairy consumption can even lead to cancer. In an article entitled Milk and Prostate Cancer: The Evidence Mounts it is stated that “Major studies suggesting a link between milk and prostate cancer have appeared in medical journals since the 1970s” (“Milk and Prostate Cancer”). One of these studies indicated that “frequent dairy could increase
132). With the production of food at such a large scale, the issue of uniformity is called into question. The industry revolves around making food so it is easier to produce. The uniformly and scale of farming can enable a person with the intent to do harm to affect a large percent of food in a small attack (Pehanich 2006). With this attack and having uniformly in food making at one place it can put a person out of business since all they produce is affect from the attack. With farms owned by a corporation, like Tyson, food can easily follow this since the company makes money by having a simple and uniform practice. This problem is only going to increase as the years go
Since when does sexy conduct healthier and better milk? The two print ads that I am introducing to you is a milk from the Coca-Cola Company. The milk is called Fairlife and comes in different flavors: 2% reduced fat, 2% chocolate, fat free, and whole. Their tag line is “Believe in a better milk”.
Since the beginning of time, people have been drinking milk. Even today you will find a gallon of milk in almost every refrigerator in America. Milk is, and has always been, a staple of our diet. Because it contains essential proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins, milk is considered one of nature's perfect foods. Unfortunately, throughout the last century milk has been subjected to many forms of modern processing practices, which deprive milk from many of its natural qualities and benefits. Therefore many essential vitamins and enzymes are lost. Processing milk has altered one of nature’s perfect foods and changed it into something nature did not intend. Because of the abundant health benefits in raw milk, this report will explain why it should be made legal for consumers to buy throughout the United States.
I agree with your choice. Chocolate milk is harmful and should be stopped. Chocolate milk can cause many health problems to the kids in our school and world.
The dairy industry in Canada is heavily regulated and organized. It has adopted a system of supply management and collective marketing that ensure a balance between the demand for dairy products and the supply for industrial milk. This
Today dairy farmers across Australia are struggling due to the ‘Milk Wars’ between Coles and Woolworths, only stocking their own branded products in order to make larger profits and reduce their prices to increase their consumer range. If you do not see this as a problem, you must open your eyes. In June 2014, it was recorded that West Farmers Limited own 33.5 percent and Woolworths Ltd own 39.6 percent the Market Share in Australia. This combined is 73 percent in the total market share. If you do not see this as a problem, you must open your eyes. Have you noticed the rapid decrease from when you were a child to having a local family owned grocery store rather than large monopolies dominating the industry. If you do not see this as a problem,

The packaged milk category was originated in 1981 by (quaintly named) Milk Pak, which pioneered tetra pack milk in Pakistan. The supply chain involved collecting milk from rural areas across Punjab, processing the milk through UHT (Ultra-High Temperature Processing) treatment, and selling it to consumers in uniquely colored triangular and rectangular packs designed to prolong the milk’s quality. Milk Pak’s “Milk Packs” were very well-received and the brand soon became synonymous with quality milk. Its first real competition came in the form of Haleeb, which introduced distinctively blue tetra packs to the market in 1986.
Cadburys rely on a number of primary sector goods including cocoa beans, sugar cane and milk in the production of their goods.
