Chapter 245: Milking

The average weight of the dairy Holstein cows in the Snow Mountain Ranch is 700 kilograms, and each head is full of milk and fat buttocks, and the annual milk production reaches eight and a half tons.

The record holder is a 12-and-a-half-year-old cow that has produced more than 130 tons of milk in 10 years and is still lactating, and is expected to surpass the record of 189 tons of milk produced by a cow in 4,796 days in California.

After the establishment of the milk powder factory, the number of cows in the snowy mountain ranch expanded again.

Today, there are 5,500 adult dairy Holstein cows, and on average, more than 120 tons of fresh milk are harvested every day.

Together with more than 3,000 Simmental cattle, they produce nearly five tons of milk a year.

In other words, a five-ton milk canned refrigerated truck has to make 39 trips a day to deliver the milk to the milk powder processing plant and the fresh milk filling plant.

The yogurt that Han Xuan is eating is also a new product of his own company.

Lactic acid bacteria are added to the milk and fermented at a suitable temperature, and lactic acid bacteria multiply in large quantities to produce lactic acid.

While retaining all the nutrients of milk, it also adds some health care functions, which is easier to absorb and suitable for children.

The s-m-r milk powder factory recently made three flavors of star fruit, mango, and blueberry, and my dad asked them to send some fresh ones every day, and Han Xuan became the subject of the experiment.

"The fruit is too big, who makes yogurt and blueberries whole and puts them in? I think it can be made sweeter, and I basically buy it for children, they are not interested in the original flavor yogurt, and then add strawberry flavor, girls like to eat that." ”

Father Han nodded and made a note, Harris swallowed his saliva, he didn't have a good cold. Only porridge can be drunk.

Last night, under the destruction of Dani, Han Xuan wanted Joanna to help him roast the rabbit, she is very good at making barbecue, and the seasoning has been passed down for many years, and her mother will not give her if she wants.

But when she went out and saw that Dani was there, Joanna immediately changed her face and ran away. Broke Daini's heart.

So Han Xuan could only ask his own Lao Tzu to help and make a grill in the garden, Pooh and Harris were on the side, drooling all over the ground, watching the father and son divide the hare.

Now.

After solving breakfast, Han Xuan patted his stomach and took Harris out and drove to the milking factory.

The cow barn is cleaner than where the beef cattle live, and there are electric fans hanging from the roof for them to cool down in the summer. Pine trees are planted next to it to block the summer sun and the strong north wind in winter.

The staff skillfully wipes the milk head of the cow, massages it for a while after disinfection, and waits for the milk to drip out, puts the milking cup on, opens the vacuum valve, and the white emulsion flows into the milking bucket along the transparent hose. When you see that there is no milk, stop and change to the other end. The cows flick their tails, moo happily, and go to the door, where cowboys will take them to the grassland to graze.

Old Barton saw Han Xuan and them standing outside, walked out with two new masks, and pointed to the faucet. "Put this on after washing your hands, do you want to try it?"

Harris nodded, unscrewed his hands, and asked, "The cow's milk has been milked, don't the calves have to eat it?"

Barton laughs, "Cows are born to be milked. The milking cycle of Holstein cows begins with the calf and continues to produce milk for more than 300 days.

Then the milk medicine is dried, and the next month later is mated, and the calves are calved after more than nine months of pregnancy, and milk production continues.

If you don't let them milk, the cow will feel swollen and painful in the breast, causing milk/atrial inflammation, and then the whole cow will get sick, and eventually it may lead to death.

Today, our cows are milked twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, so that they can produce 10% more milk. ”

The worker put the bucket full of fresh milk on the cart, passed by Han Xuan and said, "It's still hot, pour some for you to drink?"

Han Xuan looked back, it turned out to be Martinez, who didn't recognize it when he put on a white coat and a mask, "Keep it for yourself, the magazine says that drinking milk will be beautiful, and it is more suitable for you." ”

"I'm handsome enough. "Martinez was narcissistic, pushing the bottles out and pouring them into the filling refrigerated truck.

There are rollers under the milker, and the old Barton pushes the table to the barn and drives out the two cows that have not been milked, Han Xuan has experience in how to do it, mainly to teach Harris.

"Remember to move lightly, these cows have a very gentle personality, know that we are helping them relieve their pain, be careful, don't be afraid." ”

Harris listened carefully to his story, and Han Xuan squatted next to the cow to show him.

"Holstein cows have four udder areas, each of which stores milk and doesn't interfere with each other, so you have to wipe them clean with disinfectant like this.

This bucket of water has 50 degrees, be careful, the high temperature can promote milk secretion, knead it lightly.

Lo and behold, it looks like a big water balloon. ”

The milk turned around and mooed from time to time, and just wanted to turn around, her leg was slapped by Han Xuan, and she stopped moving.

Sandwich four milking cups, suction continues to pump milk into the bucket, the color is pure white, sterilize again after milking, replace with a new milking cup, used those to be sterilized and cleaned, can be reused.

Harris saw that it was quite easy for him to do, and felt that it was not as difficult as he imagined, so he also picked a cow.

Squatting on the ground and turning around, he picked up a ball of cotton with tweezers, dipped it in water and prepared to wash it, turned around and froze, turned around in a circle, and shouted: "Where is my cow?!"

"Ran back into the circle again!" Han Xuan laughed, just now he saw the cow go and didn't stop it, just to see how ugly he was now, he beckoned to a cow, and it shook its head and walked out slowly.

Harris pushed too hard during the massage, which made the cow uncomfortable, and just wanted to pout his hooves twice, but Old Barton quickly put the hay in his hand in front of him to soothe him.

It took three or four minutes for someone else to milk a cow, but it took Harris twenty minutes to clip the milking cup.

The cow was fine, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and when he got up, his brain blood supply was insufficient, and he almost didn't fall.

Han Xuan helped him, bent down to lift the bottle, and Barton asked, "What are you doing with it?" Fresh milk can only be drunk after sterilization, otherwise it will be easy to have diarrhea. ”

"I'm not drinking, I'm going back to make double skin milk. ”

"What is double-skin milk, and it eats like cheese?"

Finding that he didn't seem to have heard of it, he looked at Harris and looked confused, shaking his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Han Xuan was stunned, the United States doesn't have this thing?

Carrying the bottle home, ignoring Daddy's strange gaze, he came to the kitchen.

Pour half full of water into the bowl, put some water under the pot, hold the bowl in and boil it over low heat, stop when it is not boiling, and put it aside to cool down.

After about five minutes, the milk in the bowl has a thick layer of milk skin, and the high fat content of pasture milk is very suitable for it.

After it has cooled, use a spoon to dig a hole in the side of the bowl, carefully pour the milk into the other bowl, leaving some milk at the bottom of the bowl to prevent the milk skin from sticking to the bottom of the bowl.

Take an egg from the refrigerator, pour the egg white into the bowl, Han Xuan thought about it carefully, added some white sugar, beat the egg white with chopsticks, and poured the egg milk back after filtering through the sieve.

Wait for the milk skin to float up, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the water to steam.

When I looked back at my parents, they stared at me and said, "Okay, call me in ten minutes......"

"When are you going to make things?"

"What I learned in school, do you think I can only eat?"

"Hmm. ”

"Not bad. (To be continued.) )
