The visit began with a briefing by Arthur Tan, the farm's operations manager, who pointed out that fresh milk, was milked twice a day at the farm - the first session at 5am and the other at 2pm. The farm's 140 cows produce about 300 litres of fresh milk a dav.

During the visit, the students saw how fresh milk was made, pasteurised and packed. More interestingly, they were shown how milk was processed the halal way. They also toured the processing area where fresh yoghurt is made daily.

The group of students, comprising those from Primary 2, 3, and 4, also had the opportunity to feed cows.

The students found the trip to the dairy farm to be most fascinating.

According to one of the supervising teachers, Cikgu Sadullah bin Hj Kassim, the trip benefited the students, as they could see firsthand how milk was produced and processed.

Cikgu Mardianah Pungut, meanwhile, looked forward to more trips to the farm for the benefit of the students. She said that such trips could motivate some to become veterinarians.

The farm had also received a visit from another school earlier this week. On Tuesday morning, 27 students and eight, teaches from Jerudong Arabic School visited the farm. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
