DMF to set up 30 bulk cooler units in 4 districts.

The Dharwad Milk Federation (DMF) has embarked on a mega project to set up 30 Bulk Milk Coolers (BMC) in four districts under its jurisdiction.

DMF president Neelakanth Asuti said recently , the federation had identified mini milk procuring centres in Dharwad, Haveri, Gadag and Uttar Kannada districts wherein BMCs would be installed.

This project has been taken up to ensure quality of the milk beside providing bacteria-free milk products to consumers.

BMC is a new concept which is being implemented by the Karnataka Milk Federation across the state. As per the research by experts, it was found that due to the delay in reaching the milk to the main milk procuring unit in Dharwad, bacteria content in the milk was on the rise.

Once the milk is procured, it needs to be cooled so that bacteria cannot grow and the nutritional value of the milk is maintained. Hence, BMC units are being installed in various areas and the nearby farmers can directly procure the milk in these units, he added.
