Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: Research and experience have established the value to dairy farmers of good sanitation practices, the importance of prompt and adequate cooling of milk, and the need for careful operation and cleaning of milking and milk-handling equipment. But how do the different features of farm dairy buildings and equipment influence the quality of milk as reflected by laboratory tests? And what is the most economical investment in buildings, equipment, and use of labor that is consistent with production of milk of a quality acceptable for consumption in fluid form? The study reported here was undertaken on several farms to obtain answers to the two questions listed above. Conditions were established that would enable operators to follow desirable sanitation and management practices, using a combination of buildings and facilities which represents a substantial reduction in investment and in annual cost. These conditions would also reduce the amount of labor needed.
