In the milk utilization sector of the UK dairy industry, scientists and technologists are recognized as key members of the management team in factories, especially in the areas of quality control and quality assurance. Consideration is given to their role in both line and functional control of product quality. In research and development they continue to play a vital role both in the private and public sectors of the industry. In the research sector, there is an increasing degree of co‐operation and consultation between government‐funded research institutions and the ultimate users of the results of research in commercial practice. Attempts are being made to improve the identification of the needs of the industry, both long and short term, so that research effort can be channelled to meet these needs.
