Technological Interventions and Development Activities
Automation in milk collection
Cooperative dairies are encouraged to use AMCU (Automated Milk Collection Units – electronic weigh scale, electronic milk tester interfaced with computer to calculate the price and auto-generate the transaction slip) which has been instrumental not only in bringing transparency but also reducing the time of collection leading to improvement in the quality of raw milk.
Cold Chain Creation at village level
In order to facilitate prevention of spoilage (souring/curdling) leading to improvement of quality of raw milk, cooperatives are encouraged for installing Bulk Milk Coolers (BMCs) at village dairy cooperative societies.
Dairy Plant Intervention
NDDB lays down the processes required for ensuring quality & food safety; and encourage dairy cooperative to implement the same by guiding them to acquire certification under International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Hazard Analysis & Critical Control point (HACCP) systems.
