MILK IN HUMAN NUTRITION

Milk and milk products are widely used in human nutrition, and have a long history. They are nutritious components of the diet, and they contain several essential nutrients. The consumption of milk and milk products varies from region to region, being about 180 kg yearly per capita in Iceland and Finland, to less than 50 kg in Japan and China [1]. Milk and dairy products are major dietary items in Europe and Northern America, where it constitutes 20-30% of the intake of dietary protein, 15% of dietary lipids and about 80% of the dietary amount of calcium[2]. Typically in tropical countries milk is traditionally preserved through other means than refrigeration. Examples include consumption of warm milk immediately after …show more content…

Each cow wears a sensor, and through this sensor each single animal is registered by the steering unit when the animal is at place in the milking robot. The computer registers how much time it has been since the last milking, the amount of milk in each teat, the quality of the milk, and the robot also portions out a ration of concentrates for the cow. Before the milking starts each teat is cleaned. The milking unit lokalises the teats on the udder of the cow, puts on the teat cups and removes the teat cups when the teat is empty. Milking robots has become more prevalent since the start of 2000 in farms with large herds in loose housing drifted in joint operation. The use of automatic milking is increasing in the modern day farming. This system is designed to replace conventional milking managed by a milker in a milking parlor or a tie stall. In general the cows are milked more frequently in robotic milkers compared to conventional milking methods. In this method the milking is quarter-based compared instead of udder based.[15] The approach to robotic milking is different compared to conventional milking. In robotic milkign more attention can be given to each cow, to endure that all her needs are met, such as those for optimal health, production and well-being. This can be done without all the extra work it would take in conventional milking methods. The most important aspect to remember about robotic milking compared to parlour milking is that the robot will take central place in the situation, and everything should be adapted around the robot. The feeding strategymst comply with the use of robot. In many
