P9: Designer Milk

Investigating on-farm opportunities to produce milk with higher value components. For example, producing more milk solids with less water.

P9 project primary activities 

  1. Detection models (targeted at consumers): source of origin, biological provenance verification
  2. Milk attributes / New products: Concentrating milk (‘more milk solids with less water’)
  3. Lateral systems thinking: Manufacturing input of biodegradable products & Colostrum management

There are three P9 projects:
