Mercury is highly poisonous and should not be used in milk production.

The only place where mercury might be used in milk production is in mercury thermometers and where possible, these should be replaced with alcohol thermometers.

Why not mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature of hot milk?

It could be used to do this - it is capable of doing it. However, Mercury is poisonous and a mercury thermometer is made out of fragile glass. Thus the danger that the thermometer would break releasing mercury into the milk (which would be for a person to drink) means that a mercury thermomiter is not the temperature sensor to use in this instance.
