Delivering the key note address, Srivastava said, “Despite the fact that India is the largest producer of milk, which contains calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, iodine, vitamin A, D, B12, K, riboflavin, biotech, pantothenic and other nutrients, a number of people are not getting required nutrients and micro nutrients. He was speaking on the opportunities and challenges faced by the dairy and poultry sector.
