The process diagram illustrates the key process of

milk

production

as well as

for retail sale. In total, there are eight important stages which begin with a herd of

dairy

cows grazing on grass and end with the consumers buying the

dairy

products

at supermarkets and shops. As mentioned above, the initial step is to let the cows graze on green pastures. Following that, the cows are taken from the pasture to a milking facility, wherein they are milked via means of an automatic milking machine twice a day. The ensuing

milk

is stored in massive refrigerated storage tanks.

Next,

the

milk

is regularly collected using a

milk

tanker and delivered to a

dairy

manufacturing facility, where additional processes are applied to it in order to produce various

dairy

products

.

Subsequently

, some of the

milk

is pasteurized and packed for delivery,

while

the remaining is made into cheese, cream, and butter, among other

dairy

products

.

Finally

products

are delivered to shops and supermarkets where they can be purchased by the general public.
