Methods of Handling Milk
“We are led to believe that if a cowshed is clean that is all that is necessary for pure milk,” stated Mr P. O. Veale, dairy scientist, of Hawera, when speaking at Woodville recently. He pointed out the fallacy of this contention and added that methods of handling, milk after it was drawn from the cow, played a far more important part in keeping milk pure. In the United States there were regulations governing the importation of milk from Canada. Of 100 marks, only 40 were awarded as a maximum for the condition of. the cowshed, while 60 were awarded for methods of handling. Mr Veale stated that even if a shed was the cleanest imaginable, the milk next morning would not be first grade unless it was cooled to at least 60 degrees F. after milking the night before. The condition of the shed did not play such an important part as some imagined.
