Development Board (NDDB) design and specifications, using

The use of EMTs at the village milk
collection centres for measurement of fat content in milk,
attracted large membership of the village level
co-operatives, resulting in increased milk collection.
This steep increase was because our dairy farmers felt
that the EMTs provided a transparent mechanism for
measurement of the Fat content in the milk. REIL today has
a whole range of products to meet the requirements of a
small village milk co-operative society to a district
level dairy plant. The important products includes the
