Quality Milk-Your
Reiponiibility
Concern approaching
hysteria might be the best
way to describe the current
feelings of milk industry
personnel responsible for
milk quality. 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.

FACTS
FOR
DAIRYMEN
by
N. 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.
