Abstract


Intensive urbanisation of a population always creates certain pro- blems which need solution. Housing, lighting, transport, roads and medical aid and food supply are the more important problems of the urban population. As it is not within the scope of this article to study all the problems, only one aspect of food supply will be consi- dered. Milk supply to an urban population has become increasingly important of late, as people find it difficult to maintain a cow to supply home requirements. In cities like Madras where the milk supply is dependent on professional milkmen the problem is acute. Depending on their prosperity these milkmen keep a limited number of cows and try to meet the demand as best they can, with the result that the housing of cows and sanitation in general do not come up to a high standard.
