Transcript How to make Milk

How We Get Milk
By Dominic, Jessica, Holly, Lucy, Thomas,

Fact
Milk is very good for
your bones and
teeth.
Most milk comes from cows, but you
can also get it from goats or sheep.
Dairy cows are mainly farmed for
milk.
A cow has to have a calf before it
can produce milk. Dairy cows
have a calf every year.
Diary or Beef?
• Female calves
are called heifers.
They will join the
milking herd once
they have had a
calf.
Male calves will
become bulls or
go to beef
production.
Milking
Milking
Cows are usually milked
morning and night by
dairymen.
Some farms use robot
milking machines,
when the cows go to milk
themselves when they
want to.
Milk Tankers
The milk is taken from the farm by a
refrigerated tanker to a factory to be
pasteurised and bottled.
Pasteurisation
The milk is pasteurised
to kill any bacteria,
by heating it to 71 C for
15 seconds.
It is then put into bottles
or cartons and sold in the shops.
I like milk in my tea.
