(d) Feed

The question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.

I need to ask this question from Dairy Facts in chapter Dairy Laws of Dairy Engineering

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Unclean

The best I can explain: Some farm milk samples have an unpleasant, dirty after taste. This problem often occurs during winter. Frequently it is an absorbed flavor, like silage. Usually, cows breathe air with a barny odor and transfer it to the milk. Dust, dirt and manure can cause an unclean flavor of milk. Cows and their surroundings must be kept clean. Milking equipment that has not been properly cleaned and sanitized may be a factor.
