Responsibilities of Dairy Companies in India Towards Consumers
All humans need a variety of nutrients to satiate the health requirements of their body. These nutrients not only assure proper growth and development but also offer strength and energy to carry out day to day activities. Milk contains a variety of nutrients that cater to the nutrient requirement of the body. India produces milk and the milk products in abundance. So, which are the key milk producing regions of India? Dairy farming in India is substantially concentrated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The White Revolution in India was initiated in Gujarat. This is the reason that maximum milk production happens here.
Besides milk, other milk related products such as butter, ghee and cheese, etc. are also manufactured in abundance in India. Supply of milk as well as the milk related products is a necessity in every Indian household. So, where can one find fresh and raw milk? Raw milk is usually concentrated in the rural areas as here the non-adulterated cow’s milk is produced. Urban areas on the other hand receive only the processed milk. In the urban lands, cows are usually treated with chemicals and injections to raise the production of the milk. However, the sad truth is that this hampers the quality of the milk.
A successful dairy company in India must always promote the production and consumption of the organic milk. The organic milk of the cow is availed from the cows that are free grazing. These cows feed on grass and grains that are never treated with pesticides. Further, such cows never undergo antibiotic treatment. If by any chance, the cow falls sick then such a cow is taken away from the herd and is given the requisite treatment. Post the treatment, the cow is still not brought back to the herd. Thereafter, several tests are conducted to verify whether the effect of the antibiotics in the body of the cow is fully nullified or not. Only when the effect is zero, the cow is brought back to the herd and made to produce milk. The organic milk producing cows are never injected with the growth hormones or the BGH. This hormone is usually injected by the farm land owners to accentuate the milk production. Sadly, if humans consume such inorganic milk, the result of it may not be very good.
Hence, the dairy companies in India must only advocate the usage of the organic cow milk since it is healthy, pure and environment friendly.
