Dairies are facilities where milk is processed and products like cheese, yogurt, and butter are made. They collect milk from cows, goats, or sheep and use various methods to ensure it is safe for consumption. The milk is pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and then transformed into different dairy products. In addition to processing, dairies often manage the care and feeding of the animals that produce the milk. This includes providing proper nutrition and maintaining a clean environment. Dairies play a crucial role in the food supply chain, contributing to the availability of essential dairy products for consumers.
