In my previous posts about clean milk I covered own definition, how to find a healthy cow, setting up a room and how clean milking milking. Now I am going to talk filtration, cooling and cleaning.

1. Remove speed

After milking, I solve my cows of the show and my milk milk room. This room is like a kitchen, clean and free of all animals. In our barn milking room is on the ground floor and milk room is upstairs. Here I have my milk with a filter steel sieve milk in a separate stainless steel milk jug (for yogurt or cheese) or directly into the half-liter pots (to drink the milk). It is important to filter relatively quickly after milking hair, dirt or manure in the milk before it could cause widespread contamination. It will also improve the taste and preserve the quality of their milk quickly filtering. More direct correlation filter time, total bacterial count. Machines nipple obtained the practical advantage of a line filter , either in the hub or in a pipeline. This is an excellent way to very quickly and without much trouble filtering.

Hand milking does not have room for a separate milk room, the kitchen sink will do. Make sure your filter, sponge and milk containers are used for the handling of milk and always clean. Invite to use for all pollution.

2. Chill Out: Cool milk to 40 degrees Fahrenheit

Just put hot pans in the refrigerator to cool the milk quickly. E. coli grown in pasteurized milk and with temperatures above 40 ° C during transport and handling. The same is true also for dairies Homestead. Do not try the pot, water can enter the front cover and seal dive. The best choice of high technology is the use of a large container (see below) in order to keep the temperature low. Tanks milk shake mix milk fat and layers of surface that prevents the growth of bacteria and extends the life and ultimately reduces the number of bacteria to cool very quickly. Life can be increased by 100 percent to a tank.

Alternatively, using a solution useful technology low cooling effects of a stream. Ask. The pots with hot milk in a milk crate and down in a creek Also, maintaining the top of the glass above the water line. This method milk to cool quickly and be a solution throughout the year for the cooling and maintenance of cold milk. A practical approach would be to divert water from a high point in the current bathtub or sink near or even in the living room. Let the water diverted constantly crashed and place your pots that. Hydrocool!

3. Time to clean

Which are used to treat milk is the most important step to keep clean milk wash equipment. In their milk spaces for cleaning all the big boxes and containers of stainless steel sink whole. First rinse with cold or hot water in the milking equipment. With hot water immediately burn the milk on your computer and become a source of contamination. After rinsing, rinse all the soap and as hot as you can handle again with water. Biodegradable soap dishes, everything washes bottles and buckets. Cleaning takes a little longer for the milking machine must run their machines with a cleaning solution for 10 minutes, and once a week to vent their claws and bucket and clean thoroughly 30-45 minutes. After all devices is clean, place them on a clean grill, dry powder. Let the jars and boxes open and upward. The next time the milk, everything must be dry and not smell it at all.

You will notice when a customer enters a clean jar with the lid screwed it smells bad in the glass. A pot so need to be cleaned again. I always leave tapas; Air flow and sunlight there is the best disinfectant.

4. Consideration of evidence for their milk to a local laboratory for dairy products

Once you are milk with your routine, you should send the samples for testing on a regular basis as a way to check their milk. Cheese samples sent each week to ensure the quality of their inputs, such as cheese. Manufacturers are required to test twice a month Vermont Tier II. I tried a couple of weeks after my fresh cows in the spring, when I suspect that all mastitis or change my routine to see during the season again and again when they are high in late summer / autumn. It is a good idea to try and Johne leukosis once a year, what to do when searching for pregnancy with our annual audit of welfare.

In summary, I recommend you to test the health of a pet before the flock, the creation of a clean milking room and diligent in filtering, cooling and cleaning the milking. Following these steps will help you not to be afraid and pathogenic bacteria, but cheese or yogurt with confidence and enjoy the conversion of sunlight and grass on a clean glass, delicious raw milk.
