milk powder
It is important to remember that milk destined for powder production has to be skimmed before it can be transferred to a drying tower. If any cream remains in the milk, it will block the drying tower nozzles in a matter of moments. Cream is passed down a different line to be sterilised and at the end of the process, cream will be added back into the powder to make whole milk powder (WMP) or semi-skimmed powder or it can be packed directly as skimmed milk powder.
Turnor
Christopher Hatton Turnor was a co-founder of the Central Landowners’ Association and an active campaigner for agricultural modernisation. Alumnus of the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, and Christ Church Oxford, his books reflected his Unionist heritage. Bibliography on Wikipedia. To give readers an idea of the case he argued, I have retrieved a collection of food consumption data from his 1916 book Our Food Supply. The attribution is patchy (field surveys by Mr CW Fielding) and the figures are not easy to cross check: caveat lector.
United Dairies
Formed as holding company in 1915, United Dairies led the field in developing pasteurised milk for the domestic market. From the outset, United Dairies recruited a growing number of delivery businesses. This was not coincidental, since the presence of a holding company strengthened the position of subsidiaries, fending off increasingly frantic demands from the military for working horses. WW1 equine casualties topped two million animals, and any that survived service on the front line came back nervous and difficult to control. By the way, United Dairies continued to grow, rebranding as Unigate in 1959.
