Central Laboratories for Determining the Hygienic Quality of Milk for Manufacturing¹

Dairy Branch, Toronto, Ontario, Kemptville Agricultural Schools, Kemptville, Ontario, Department of Dairy Science, Federated Colleges, Guelph, Ontario

ABSTRACT

Some of the main features of two government-sponsored milk-testing laboratories have been described. Samples of raw milk sold for manufacturing purposes are collected and examined monthly. The Resazurin and Gel Test are being used to determine quality. The program has been found to have a number of advantages and has had a marked effect on quality improvement. Milk producers have confidence in test results and fieldmen have more time available for farm visits. Having a large number of samples available in the laboratory is also advantageous for research purposes.
