1. The number of dairy cattle in Korea was 2,406 as of the end of 1962. But the number was increased to 13,760 as of the end of 1968. Of the entire dairy cattle raised in Korea, about 12 percent were in Seoul, 47 percent in Kyunggi province, and 10 percent in Chungnam province. About 70 percent of the total population of dairy cattle were raised around Seoul Area which is a major milk-consuming area. 2. Only 26 percent of the total amount of milk consumed in Korea in 1968 was produced in Korea. Seventy-four percent of milk consumed in Korea was imported to Korea from abroad as aid material through foreign aid agencies. The domestic consumption of milk depended to a large extent upon the amount of milk donated to Korea from abroad. Since milk is not an essential food of Korean, no upheaval was resulted from the extremely fluctuating supply of milk 3. In dairy farms of Seoul Area about 15 percent of milk produced at noon was stored for 17 hours, and 40 percent of milk produced in the evening was stored for 11 hours on the average. The method of storage employed was primitive, keeping the milk container under cool water in cement tank, well, brook, or in drum. Of the total amount of milk rejected by milk inspection, 53 percent was resulted from the inadequate storage facility. Although the amount of milk rejected due to the inadequate storage facility. Although the amount of milk rejected due to the inadequate storage facility was only a small fraction of the total milk produced, the financial loss from this source amounted to 11,600 won a year per farm. 4. The Livestock Experiment Station reported that the addition of 0.02% of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) may make it possible to store the milk for 12∼16 hours at an ordinary room temperature. The hydrogen peroxide method of milk storage was more profitable than the current method by 555 won per cow or 5,695 won per farm in a year. In this comparison of the two methods of storage, it was not taken into account that the current method of storage is unstable, troublesome, and has no assurance for the prevention of rancidity. 5. In Sungwhan Area the farmers carried their milk to a milk storage of the association at each milking time, instead of storing the milk at their home. On the average, each farmer spent 5 hours and 45 minutes a day for the transportation of milk to the storage. It was computed that the use of hydrogen peroxide method make it possible to save 23,520 won per farm. 6. The operation of milk collecting car by the members of Sungwhan Area Milk Cooperative may make of possible to save as much as 1,900,000 won for the Cooperative, or 30,860 won per farm, compared to the current method of milk transportation. 7. In dairy farms of Seoul Area, about 96.3 percent of milk produced was marketed, and the home-used milk was only 2.6 percent. Most of the home-consumed milk was for calf-raising, and a extremely small amount was used as human food.
