Dairy production involves the process of producing milk and other dairy products from animals, primarily cows, goats, and sheep. The process begins with the milking of these animals, which is typically done using machines in large-scale operations. The milk is then collected, pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria, and processed into various products like cheese, yogurt, and butter. The dairy industry plays a significant role in agriculture and the economy, providing jobs and contributing to food supply. Dairy farms vary in size, from small family-run operations to large commercial farms, and they often focus on sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact.
