How is milk made

Mike is a very yummy drink. It is good for us and makes our bones strong.

This is how milk is made. It starts with cows and they eat 70kg of grass per day. Grass is really hard to digest so it takes them a while to break it down. 

Cows have four stomachs. The grass goes through two stomachs, then it is squashed and burped up into a cud. The cud is burped up back into their mouths and chewed for another one minute so that it breaks down even more. The grass goes through the other two stomachs and is broken down even more into tiny pieces that goes into their blood stream.

It goes into udders and the cows wait to get milked. The cows then go into the milking shed and get milked. The milk goes into the holding tank and then into the separator.

In the separator,the milk is heated up really quickly and then cooled down . This is where the cream and milk gets separated. The milk is heated to 70 degrees. Then the milk is cooled to 3 degrees celsius.

The milk then goes to the factory so it doesn’t get contaminated. The milk has to be homogenized. This is when milk gets pushed through a filter.

Next then the milk gets bottle then it get send to shop and school.
