octor Rosarin said Chitralada Dairy Farm marked the start of semi-commercial projects after the King was presented with a fewhead of cattle in 1962. “His Majesty also invested his personal fundsand even sold a book he wrote on music to raise additional fundingfor a dairy herd of around forty cows for demonstration purposes.The herd produced between two hundred and three hundred litres of milk a day.”Similar to the rice development project, Dr. Rosarin said HisMajesty was concerned that there should be no wastage from milk production. “There were surpluses in the milk market in 1969 andHis Majesty asked for studies to turn fresh milk into powdered milk that could be stored for long periods of time.” This resulted inThailand’s first milk powder factory,designed and constructed entirely by Thaisand given the name “Suan Dusit Milk Powder Plant” by the King.“That wasn’t the end of it,” Dr. Rosarinsaid, “milk tablets were produced frommilk powder…any broken tablets weregathered, recycled and given to people’spet animals.” Apart from this, the purecondensate obtained through the processof evaporation can be converted for use asdistilled water in car batteries
