4. Constraints----- Production of clean and safe milk in India is really a challenge! Indian dairying is characterized by very small - most producers own 1 to 3 milch animals and largely a rural-based activity. In India milk is produced by masses contrary to the mass milk production of some developed countries. India has a unique pattern of production, processing, consumption and marketing of milk, which is not comparable to any developed nation. Pricing policy of milk

6. Clean and safe milk? “ milk drawn from the udder of healthy animals, which is collected in clean, dry milking pail and free from extraneous material like, dirt, dust flies, hay , manure etc. clean milk has a normal milk flavor with low bacterial count and is safe for human consumption.” Raw milk quality encompasses criteria relating to composition (butterfat, protein, lactose, milk solids etc) and hygiene (total bacterial count, somatic cell count). Of these, somatic cell count (SCC): An udder quarter is considered healthy if it has an SCC < 100,000 cells/ml and is free of mastitis pathogens. (Hamann 2005) The European Union milk quality standard (SCC not exceeding 400,000 cells/ml) is generally accepted as the international export standard.
