Yesterday, YDN members got a behind-the-scenes look at Bega's Koroit facility, following the journey of milk from the farm gate through to the finished products on our shelves. The group explored the site's four dryers, butter production operations and more.
A highlight of the tour was the lactoferrin plant, which extracts a naturally occurring milk protein used in infant formula and health products. The group also saw how the factory treats and recycles water for agricultural use
A big thank you to Bega Koroit for hosting the tour. It was a great opportunity to learn more about dairy processing and what happens to milk beyond the farm gate.
