Denpasar, 4 June 2026 – The Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University, once again welcomed a distinguished academic expert through a guest lecture aimed at enriching students’ knowledge and academic experience. Through the Animal Product Technology course, the faculty invited Dr. Eka Wulandari, S.Si., M.Si., Dean of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Universitas Padjadjaran, as the guest speaker to deliver a lecture entitled “Milk Processing Using Fermentation and Non-Fermentation Technologies.”

The event, held on Thursday, 4 June 2026, was attended by undergraduate students enrolled in the Animal Product Technology course. The guest lecture was designed to provide a deeper understanding of various milk processing technologies applied in the livestock-based food industry, ranging from fermentation processes to advanced non-fermentation technologies that generate high-value dairy products.

During her presentation, Dr. Eka Wulandari explained that milk is a highly nutritious food commodity but is also highly perishable, making processing technologies essential for extending shelf life while enhancing its economic value. Various fermented dairy products, including yogurt, kefir, and cheese, were discussed comprehensively, with particular emphasis on the role of microorganisms in shaping product characteristics. Participants also gained insights into non-fermentation technologies such as pasteurization, sterilization, Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) processing, and the production of a wide range of modern dairy products.

She further emphasized the importance of technological innovation in the dairy processing industry to meet increasingly diverse consumer demands and enhance the competitiveness of Indonesian livestock products in both national and international markets.

The lecture was conducted in a highly interactive atmosphere, with students actively engaging in discussions and raising questions regarding dairy product development opportunities, challenges facing Indonesia’s dairy processing industry, and the application of emerging technologies to ensure food quality and safety.

Through this guest lecture, the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University, hopes that students will gain practical insights and a broader understanding of recent developments in animal product technology, particularly in dairy processing. Such knowledge is expected to help students integrate theoretical concepts acquired in the classroom with the needs of industry and research. Furthermore, the activity served as an important platform for strengthening academic collaboration between the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University, and the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Universitas Padjadjaran, in support of advancing the quality of higher education in the field of animal husbandry.
