Dairy Big Industry
Canadians are -being reminded.
this month that the dairy industry
is still one of the nation's'largest;
most . important and =most complex
businesses. Over the years •dairy-
ing, in, all its manifestations, has
become highly efficient beginning
with the production of milk and
carrying through. to- the delivery
of the finished product to the con
sumer.
For.• instance, it might be assum
ed that the dairy cow population
would be - increasing with the in
crease in .milk " production which
last, year topped 18 billion pounds.
However, the number of dairy cows
in Canada has not varied signifi-
cantly for many years remaining
at a level slightly, above three 'mil,
lion 'animals. Steadily increasing:
milk production, while -influenced"
on a seasonal basis by `weather
conditions, can be directly traced
to herd, culling and breeding pro
