A Flat Milk Profile is a farm that has a “seasonal supply ratio” of >40% but <60% for the coming financial year and calculated in accordance with the following formula: ½ Feb plus March, April, May, June, July and ½ August production Full 12 months production = “Seasonal supply ratio” expressed as a % *(Where production is measured in kg fat + protein)
Milk Specifications	Based on past performance, the milk to be supplied meets a quality standard of: Somatic Cell Count <200,000 cells/mL Bactoscan of <80,000 IBC/mL Thermoduric of <2,000 cfu/mL
Compliance with our standards	You are able to comply with the terms and conditions of our MSA. New suppliers will require a visit from our Supplier Relationship Manager to ensure that the standards required will be met
