Dairy farming is a type of agriculture that involves the long-term production of milk that is then processed and sold as a dairy product. Small/marginal farmers and agricultural labourers rely on dairying for supplemental income. Agriculture provides roughly 33 percent of India's gross domestic product, and agriculture employs 66 percent of the country's economically active people. Livestock products are anticipated to account for 21% of the total agriculture industry.
India produces the most milk in the world and is the major exporter of skimmed milk powder, but it exports very few additional milk products. India may become a net importer of dairy goods in the future due to rising domestic demand for dairy products and a substantial demand-supply gap. The world's major exporters of milk and milk products are New Zealand, the European Union's 28 member states, Australia, and the United States. The world's leading importers of milk and milk products were China and Russia.
Milk is defined as the whole, fresh, clean lacteal secretion obtained by complete milking of one or more healthy milch animals, excluding milk obtained within 15 days before and 3 days after calving or such periods as may be necessary to render the milk practically colostrum-free and containing the minimum prescribed percentage of milk fats and S-N-F.
Butter is a dairy product created from the solid parts of milk (fat and protein). One of the most concentrated forms of fluid milk is butter. To make one kilogramme of butter, you'll need twenty litres of whole milk.
Ghee is a sort of clarified butter made mostly from cow's milk. Because the water and milk solids have been removed, it is higher in fat than butter. When opposed to butter, ghee has a greater smoke point, thus it doesn't burn as quickly.
Paneer is a popular Indian indigenous dairy product that is akin to an unripe Ned kind of soft cheese that is used in a range of culinary meals and snacks.
Curd is a solid rather than a liquid product. Proteins make up a large portion of the dry matter in curd, although it also contains carbs, lipids, and minerals.
Dairy farming has evolved from a traditional family-run enterprise to a highly structured industry with technology specialities at every step of the process. Dairy farming machinery has advanced dramatically, allowing contemporary dairy farms to manage hundreds of dairy cows and buffaloes. This significant increase in the business has resulted in the creation of numerous farming jobs for the general public.
