Yes, it’s true, we have more quality control today and dairymen are turning out the best product ever, but the potential for disaster is greater than ever. There is no need to again cover the importance of presenting only top quality dairy products to the con sumer. The effects of quality on sales, image and public safety are well known. With today’s methods of bulk handling every dairyman must be responsible for shipping only top quality, legal and wholesome milk. Take heed when your milk sanitarian begins to paper the walls of your milkhouse with information on an tibiotics in milk. Follow the recommendations of your qualified milking equipment installer on proper washing procedures and equipment maintanence. And utilize your highly trained and competent veterinarian to keep the cows healthy. 1.95 1.95 1.95 1.95 Street Address & R.D. City, State and Zip Code I WANT TO SUBSCRIBE.

Alan Bair Associate County Agricultural Agent The only possible way to end up with a quality product is to start with one. When You Use Antibiotics. - One person should be responsible for the medicine chest and all treatments prescribed by the veterinarian. - Identify all treated cows so all milkers will know the cows whose milk must be discarded. You and your industry cannot afford a mistake. - Withhold all the milk even if only one quarter is treated. - Read directions and follow strictly the label with draw. 0 ! times. They are not all the same! - Keep dry cow treatments separate from others. Dry cow treatments must be used at least four weeks before cows freshen. Accidental or intentional use of dry cow treatments in milking animals will produce detectable residues for at least three weeks. - Use antibiotics sensibly. Dry cow treatments are only necessary for animals which show evidence of mastitis. Laboratory culture or the CMT should be used to determine which cows to treat. - Remember: Antibiotics are only useful for mastitis treatment when the source of injury or irritation is first removed. As Sam Guss, Extension Veterinarian has so often warned us, con tinued use of antibiotics for badly managed or badly milked cows is the “primrose path to destruction”. Oxidized Flavor At The Farm Many flavor problems can originate on the farm and many are related to seasonal changes in management. The “garlic” of spring is a good example. The “oxidized” flavor of late winter is just as important but less understood on the farm. A tallowy, cardboardy or metallic taste is occasionally detected in raw milk at the farm. This oxidized flavor continues to develop and increase in intensity. No processing procedure or storage method will reduce the taste once it has developed. _ Causes of oxidized flavor include copper or iron in the water supply or in alloys used for milking equipment surfaces. Air leaks and excessive foaming con tribute to the problem. Nutrition plays a key role in providing resistance to oxidized flavor development. Green, feeds from May to October provide vitamin E which is an antioxidant. The content is stored feeds decreases rapidly. Many animals do not get enough vitamin E. from January until put on green pasture in the spring. If your milk develops a tallowy taste, vitamin E sup plementation is the answer. The tallowy taste should not develop, even if you hold raw milk in your household refrigerator for two or three days. To correct oxidized milk flavor problems feed 1,000 maintain this level until units of Vitamin Eor alpha cows receive green feed, tocopherol per animal per Costs of feeding vitamin E day. After the off-flavor has are at least 5 cents per been corrected, usually In 7 animal each day. These high to 10 days, drop to 400 to 500 levels are necessary only in units per animal pW'day. It the case of oxidized - flavor will probably be necessary to problems. 33RD YORKSHIRE SALE Production Tested Certified Meat Tested FRIDAY, MARCH 14 - 1 P.M.
