more-inThe Animal Husbandry Department in the district will soon pick up the Model Dairy Man (MDM) and Model Dairy Woman (MDW) in Kottur panchayat under a pilot scheme, Mission Safe Milk Kottur which is aimed at improving the quality of milk and dairying. “What we aim is the production of antibiotic-free and residue-free milk by modernising every facet of dairying,” they say. Panchayat president Sheeja Karangott and veterinary surgeon from Kottur Veterinary Dispensary P.P. Bineesh say the Mission Safe Milk project will contribute a great deal in improving the sanitation and hygiene standards in milk production, and the personal hygiene of dairy farmers.
