According to a report by the Associated Press on the 15th, despite the health risks associated with drinking unpasteurized raw milk, raw milk sales in the United States are still rising.
According to a survey by NielsenIQ, a U.S. market research firm, since the detection of the avian influenza virus was confirmed in the United States in March this year, weekly sales of raw milk have increased significantly compared with the same period last year, a trend that has caused concern in the U.S. government and food safety community.
Officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warn that people who drink raw milk are at risk of contracting the avian influenza virus, and that the virus has the potential to mutate and spread on a large scale.
Staff at the U.S. Dairy Research Center also said that the more you drink raw milk, the more likely people are to get sick.
The number of dairy cows will exceed 140 million
From 2017 to 2021, the number of dairy cows in the world as a whole showed an increasing trend. In 2020, the number of dairy cows in the world was 138937,000, an increase of 1.14% compared to 2019. According to USDA forecasts, the number of dairy cows in the world will reach 140642 thousand in 2022.
Milk production is increasing year by year
From 2017 to 2021, global milk production has been increasing year by year. In 2021, global milk production was 544072 thousand tons, an increase of 0.83% compared to 2020. According to USDA forecasts, global milk production will reach 549356 thousand tons in 2022, an increase of 0.97% compared to 2021.
The European Union, the United States, and India are the world's main milk producers
From the perspective of the regional distribution of global milk production, in 2021, the EU ranked first in milk production, accounting for 26.78%; followed by the United States, accounting for 18.86% of the output; the third is India, accounting for 17.64%; China ranked fourth with 6.36% of the total output.
Experts believe that the key reason why raw milk is not suitable for direct drinking is the microorganisms and bacteria that may be present in it. Raw milk is an ideal breeding environment for microorganisms, which may carry pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, etc., posing a potential threat to human health. Through pasteurization and other treatments, these potentially harmful microorganisms can be effectively killed and the hygienic safety of dairy products can be improved.
