Dairy farming includes breeding and care of milk yielding cattle and buffaloes, procuring milk and processing of milk into a variety of dairy products. Dairy processing involves handling of milk for distribution or its conversion into dairy products. After the milk has reached the plant, processing work begins and it is converted into a variety of dairy products. Dairy Technologists mainly deal with the technical and quality control aspect of the processing industry and also work to develop improved methods in processing, production preservation and utilization of milk and milk products. Other professionals required in this area include Dairy Engineers, who are responsible for dairy maintenance and related activities; and Marketing personnel who handle the marketing and sales of milk and milk products.
