The fundamentals of dairy technology are based on the science of Biochemistry, Bacteriology and Nutrition. Dairy farming includes breeding and care of high yielding cattle, procuring and processing milk into a variety of dairy products like cream, butter, cheese, ghee, biscuits, ice-cream, puddings, custards, etc.  

We also get various types of milk like whole milk, double toned milk, toned milk, skimmed milk, etc. Milk is also processed to produce various products like yoghurt, butter, ghee, ice-cream, etc. This production process requires engineers for the maintenance of processing plants and dairy technologists for overseeing the processing of milk products.
