Describe different type of activities done in the field of Dairy.
Answers
Answer:
Dairy farms are either seasonal (spring-autumn) or town supply (year round) operations. Expansion of the dairy industry over the last 20-30 years is largely due to the rapid conversion of dry stock and forestry land to dairying as well as the intensification of farming methods that has led to an increase in stocking rates (cows per hectare).
During the milking season, cows are usually milked twice a day. During milking, animal waste (dairy effluent) that accumulates in the milking shed and yard is washed down with high pressure hoses and collected in oxidation ponds. This effluent may also contain other elements, such as spilled milk, soil, animal feed, detergents, and other chemicals (i.e., residue from animal health products such as drenches and antibiotics). Dairy effluent contains organic and inorganic nutrients (especially nitrogen and phosphorous) and contaminants (e.g., pathogens and sediment ), which all have the potential to impact on water quality and mahinga kai if not disposed of correctly.
