Samples of milk are taken from farm vats prior to collection and from the bulk milk tanker on arrival at the factory. Samples from the bulk milk tanker are tested for antibiotic and temperature before the milk enters the factory processing area.  Farm milk samples are tested for milkfat/protein/bulk milk cell count and bacteria count.  If milk is unsuitable for our quality products the milk will be rejected.  Most farmers are paid on quality and composition of their milk and it is extremely important that these samples are collected and stored correctly.
