[0003] During the inoculation production process of fermented milk, lactic acid bacteria need to be added to promote the lactic acid fermentation process. However, when adding materials in the existing fermented milk production, the feeding port is always in an open state, which causes the dairy product to come into contact with the outside air and easily causes bacterial contamination. In response to the above problems, the inventors proposed an inoculation equipment for fermented milk production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
