New Developments of Vital Interest to the Dairy Industry

Department of Dairy and Food Industries, University of Wisconsin, Madison¹

ABSTRACT

The evaluation of where we have been and where we are going is not always easy. Successful evaluation can lead to success. There have been developments which cast their gleam on the future, and perhaps they can be appraised.

MILK

Bulk handling. Bulk handling of milk on farms has triggered a series of developments: expanded herds, increased numbers of milking parlors, pipeline milkers, and automatic cleaning systems. A significant change has been the transfer of the sampling and measuring operations from the operating plant to the farm. After several years of experience with bulk handling, it appears that one of the most perplexing of problems is that of economic sampling and measurement. Certainly, developments can be expected to meet up with such problems; there is continued expansion in use of bulk tanks in this country, now estimated at 160,000 units. The bacteriological requirements or standards of bulk-handled milk are certain to undergo revision.
