Abstract

The major plant practice was conducted at Katipunan ng mga Kooperatibang Maggagatas Inkorporada (KKMI) Dairy Processing Plant, Barangay Lamot II, Calauan Laguna from April 23 to May 26, 2012. KKMI is an organization composed of seven different cooperatives. The plant operates from 8:30 am ? 5:00 pm from Mondays to Saturdays. On an 8- hour operation, 1,600 L of milk on the average is processed. Production, processing and marketing of dairy products are the major operations in the dairy plant. The milk is subjected to different quality assessment procedures which determine how the milk is going to be allocated. The daily production of the plant depends on the demand of customers of the different dairy products such as whole milk, where bulk of the raw milk is allocated, 50.18% of the total volume of raw milk received, the rest is allocated for products such as low fat milk, non-fat milk, chocolate milk, chocolate milk, carabao milk, white cheese and yoghurt which receives 14.93%, 14.91%, 5.18%, 0.38%, 5.39% and 0.08% respectively with the brand names Gatas Pinoy and Country Fresh. Gatas Pinoy is used in labels for plastic sachets that are marketed in nearby provinces while, on the other hand, Country Fresh is used for bottles being sold to the supermarkets. KKMI is accessible to main roads and highways which provide an ease of travel for customers and delivery men since milk should be delivered with minimum delay. It has a regular source of milk and has a steady membership of loyal cooperatives.
