After testing the quality of this milk, it is transferred to other machines for filtration, pasteurization. As informed by the authorities of the dairy, daily 40,000 litres of milk is supplied to the Mumbai vicinity alone. The milk is then packed by machines in ½ or 1 litre packs, 38 packets are packed per minute. They also saw women washing the cans and crates used to supply the milk to various vendors.

Poultry Farm – ‘Sunday ho ya Monday, roz khao ande’. Here the children saw hens, cocks, turkeys and quails. They saw the eggs and the process of hatching them artificially.
