Did you know that there are more cows in Britain than there are people in Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester put together?
Where is milk stored on the farm?
Milk is kept in a milk tank which cools and stores it before it is collected for processing.
A typical tank can hold up to 10,000 litres of milk and keeps the temperature at 4ºC (about the same temperature as your fridge) for optimal freshness. The tank is usually made from stainless steel and is cleaned by the farmer after each collection, usually daily.
