To maintain market competitiveness, raw milk production must reconcile rigorous safety protocols with operational efficiency. This review provides a comprehensive taxonomy of biotechnological solutions that support the precision-driven optimization of milk quality at the point of origin. Milk production cycle consists of four interconnected technological modules. 1) Modern genetic and reproductive technologies include genomic selection for loci CSN3, DGAT1, BoLA-DRB3, as well as the OPU-IVP-TE complex with preimplantation diagnosis. They enable the targeted development and rapid dissemination of superior genotypes characterized by enhanced productivity, optimized milk composition, and robust disease resistance. 2) Nutritional biotechnology and microbiome engineering facilitate the precision modulation of ruminal fermentation through the strategic application of probiotics and enzymes. In addition, microbial inoculants and adsorbents in feed storage make it possible to plan nutritional value of animal diet and minimize chemical contamination (mycotoxins). 3) Biological methods aimed at udder health control and microbiological purity of raw materials. Probiotics, bacteriophages, immunomodulators, and enzymes offer a safe alternative to antibiotics. This group also includes technologies for biological conditioning of equipment. 4) Biosensorics and digital platforms provide continuous predictive monitoring, e.g., in-line sensors for composition, somatic cell count, pathogens, inhibitory substances; the digital twin herd, etc. Implemented as an integrated, synergistic framework, these solutions mitigate the impact of empirical variables on raw milk quality, ensuring a more consistent and predictable production profile. Biotechnologies are an economically justified strategy that guarantees compliance of raw materials with regulatory standards by providing raw milk with reproducible functional and technological properties. They facilitate deep processing and encourage import substitution, thus strengthening the export potential of the domestic dairy industry.
