Mother Dairy Case Study

Relevance to Audience: I’m sure everyone in this room has consumed a dairy product whether it be an ice cold glass of milk with cookies, or a nice piece of cheese on a big juicy burger.

The Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation, run by general manager John Meek, aims to improve the efficiency and profitability of dairy farming through an accurate, rapid, and cost effective milk testing service. Milk testing is an essential herd management component for all dairy processors as it measures the amount, quality and contents of the dairy products. Supply management agencies limit milk production; thus, profit is maximized through acquiring premiums from quality dairy with high levels of protein and butter fat as opposed to mass production and distribution. The dairy herd is the largest source of revenue for farmers, data from milk testing helps maximize milk production as farmers

In 1990, there were over 9300 dairy farms in Ontario housing almost 450,000 cows. The farm-gate value of milk produced exceeded 1.3 billion dollars. At the retail level, dairy product sales in Ontario exceeded 4 billion dollars. The number of dairy herds in Ontario on a milk-testing program had declined from about 7100 in 1985 to 6000 in 1990. Moreover, a continued decrease was projected.

products (Morin, 1990). In 1979, 6.9 million kilolitres of milk were sold in Canada. Thirty-

It contains the mineral calcium, which build bones and keep them healthy. Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones are pourous and break or fracture very easily. Drinking milk and obtaining calcium helps prevent this in a major way. Protein is also found in milk, and is also extremely important.. Protein is used by your body to repair and make tissue, such as your hair and nails, and is also used to make enzymes, such as lactase, to speed up chemical reactions in your body. One last thing found in protein is potassium. Potassium helps maintain mineral and water throughout your body, can help control muscle growth and plays a big role in nerve function. Regular drinking milk is broken into four main types, with countless products branching off. These four types are whole milk, 1% milk, 2% milk, and skim milk. The types are divided by their fat contents (whole being the highest in fat, skim being the lowest). The brand of milk that will be used in this experiment is Horizon. This brand is part of the National Organic Program, so the cows producing the milk will not be genetically modified. This means the cows will not be given any hormones or preservatives, which could potentially effect the milk, and how the lactase responds to

The other thing that we should consider before using dairy products is from the ethical point of view. Drinking cow’s milk or consuming any dairy product is equal to torturing thousands of cows, due to changing their nature and way of living in order to make them useable for ourselves. It has become evident that milk is not the only source and product that we can reach vitamins, proteins and calcium from, in fact there are many natural and healthy products that we can reach out those factors that we are looking for it in milk, for instance fruits. Contrary to common belief, people should stop consuming milk because it is unhealthy, unnatural and unethical.

Parents are concerned about the milk being pasteurized and its harmful effect on their children since most of the nutrient in the milk is destroyed during the process of pasteurization. Soy milk has gained an image as a healthy alternative milk, if now being transformed, parents will consider the soy milk like a high-risk milk. Drinking milk is nature’s most perfect food. Our children need great source of milk in order for them to be strong and healthy women and men tomorrow. In today’s world, there is a major wake-up call for anyone who use pasteurized or processed food. These kind of food weaken our body and our health. Imagine our little ones being fed with them, it

“Raw milk today is a fringe movement, a crusade of underdogs, a pesky mouse against the entrenched lions of medicine and industry.” The book The Untold Story of Milk begins with the undesirable situation of raw milk in today’s society.

How do you get from liquid milk to a solid product like ice cream? The milk is collected from the cow, is sent to a processing plant which turns it, the milk, into your favorite products; such products include: milk, ice cream, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, makeup and pudding. There are 7

The main purpose of this lab is to identify and separate the main components of milk. To do this an understanding of the properties of these components in needed to separate them from one another. We will be separating the components with their polarity or non-polarity and the temperature at which specific components precipitate. To do this we will be using hot plates, gravity filters and vacuum filters1, water and ice baths, and blot drying.

When we look at the sky, what do we see? Stars. What would it look like if there was an entire galaxy in view? That is exactly what will happen within four billion years. Our galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy, is fated to collide with the Andromeda Galaxy, or M31. Scientists have been asking this question for decades, about how likely it is, or if it will even happen at all! But some newer evidence to this dilemma has revealed itself. Now that it is widely accepted as an inevitable fact, many questions are being asked, such as, “How probable is it?” and one of the most asked questions of them all, “Will we (humans in general) be around to see it?”. The answer is probably not, and here is why.

The section covers background information, core products/services, mission and strategic objective, SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Weaknesses) analysis and targeting strategy of the company.

Smothers said that a study from Clinical and Translational Immunology conducted in 2013 explains why the two milk samples may be so different. She said that she read an article from this medical

Q 4. If Al Ain Dairy was to expand operations into neighboring countries, looking at both forward and backward integration what options would you suggest? If Al Ain Dairy is looking at exporters and wants to ensure its quality what options are available? What quality control mechanisms need to be put in place? What products would you recommend?
