Trace ability at milk farms is important to define the quality of milk as it allows the customer to trace the movement of milk and its products from production to consumption. It is significant in the view that transparency across the process starting from the processing plant to the distribution of each bottle/pack to the market or the end consumer assures the consumer of the safety and health quotient of the product. Further, it enables the consumer to make an informed decision.
Why is traceability important in the dairy industry?
The high nutrient content in milk and dairy products provides a favorable growth environment for the microorganisms responsible for the contamination of milk, which in turn may lead to many health problems in humans. In addition, milk and dairy products are also vulnerable to containing chemicals like pesticides and others, possibly due to exposure to animal feedstuffs, animal husbandry, poor industry practices, as well as the environment.
