Is your business being approached by companies selling tempting new technologies, but your team isn’t sure if the investment is worth it? Our Milk Quality Improvement Program is assisting dairy processors with this question. We are seeking input on which emerging processing technologies are of interest to dairy processors to help evaluate the efficacy and value of these advancements.

New technologies are an important component in satisfying the demand for New York State dairy products and dairy ingredients, but these technologies need to be safe, effective, and promising for companies to invest in the implementation of these new solutions. Our Milk Quality Improvement Program will be expanding critical evaluation of the technical data and application associated with technologies of interest to dairy processors. By doing so we can provide better insight into how realistic, effective, and worthwhile these specific technologies are.

This project will benefit dairy producers and the overall dairy industry by facilitating innovation while limiting the amount of failed technology investment in the dairy processing sector. Share your thoughts with us by emailing Aljosa Trmcic at at543@cornell.edu or Rob Ralyea at rdr10@cornell.edu.
