Milk Quality Improved
By New Pa. Program
The flow of low-quality milk to
processing plants has been dras
tically reduced during the past
year because of the success oi
the Pennsylvania Abnormal Milk
Program, it was reported in Co
lumbus, Ohio, this week by an
Extension dairy specialist at The
Pennsylvania State University.
Speaking at the annual meet
ing of the American Dairy Sci
ence Association on the Ohio
State University campus, Ste
phen B Spencer said initial pro
gram surveys show that 94 per
cent of the Commonwealth’s
dairy herds are producing milk
ol good to excellent quality This
figure, he said, is substantially
higher than those compiled a
year ago.
Tues Wed.
“The Abnormal Milk Pro
gram, formulated by the Penn
sylvania Mastitis Council, is es
sentially a campaign to lower
leukocyte levels in milk by reg
ular testing procedures in lab
oratories and establishing clear
ly defined roles for dairymen,
fieldmen, veterinarians, milking
mach.ne servicemen, and county
agents,” the dairy specialist
said. “The State Department of
Agriculture’s Milk Sanitation Di
vision is the regulatory organi
zation.”
The most important element
in the Pennsylvania program,
Spencer said, is tie dairyman s
attitude when he knows he has
an abnormal milk problem He
then must willingly initiate the
steps to be taken for corrective
action
