but it should go in a fridge at 3am.Picked up between 7 & 9 pm Tanker back to dairy 3 am Lab transport late afternoon when the day shift tankers are back. So probably close to 24 hours farm to lab
In our bottled milk business we get plenty of examples where the milk is in the fridge,but the customer doesn`t check the temp, or is not aware what the correct temp should be, or hasn`t noticed the fridge is fooked .but it should go in a fridge at 3am.
Agreed, but one would hope that a business specialising in refrigerated food products has a more regimented temperature checking protocol.In our bottled milk business we get plenty of examples where the milk is in the fridge,but the customer doesn`t check the temp, or is not aware what the correct temp should be, or hasn`t noticed the fridge is fooked .
When they ring up it`s always " There is something wrong with your milk " No there isn`t, its your storage temperature.
i could write a book ----
So just got out the tank and unfortunately all clean in there, hang fire now until my next result is back?
If that's also high what should I start looking at next?
How hot is your hot water fir plant washing. Can’t be too hot is my view, and out the wash line still too hot to hold your hand in, or it starts to deposit fat back on as it cools.So just got out the tank and unfortunately all clean in there, hang fire now until my next result is back?

two problems this week, bacto shot up, cause, plastic pipe intake, from chemical drum, gone brittle and split, dead easy for a change.So just got out the tank and unfortunately all clean in there, hang fire now until my next result is back?

Water heater. Any pipes that need replacing? Ours was high last time as well just waiting for next results to see what’s happening.

when my new to me tank arrived, it had a massive build up of milk stone on the back of the exit tap, tricky spot to clean without taking it to bits. Several goes with the steam cleaner gig there in the end, but with milk stone, the problem is when it comes away and exposes the bacteria built up below it.
The hot water comes from a cotswold water heater, I'll try and empty it and have a look inside if it doesn't come down, cold water comes straight from a boreholeYour chemicals would be next for me. For the tank and parlour.
What's your wash water source? We have a big storage tank that fills between milkings and have recently discovered it was filthy no wonder we were having problems.
Unfortunately not the cows (see the thread about my electric fencer not working) as they had the run of a 15 acre field for the entire 2 days this collection came fromtwo problems this week, bacto shot up, cause, plastic pipe intake, from chemical drum, gone brittle and split, dead easy for a change.
2nd, temp gauge on lorry reading hot milk, and kicking out, it's the pipe is to hot, actual milk temp, around 3.5/4.5, but as temp driver, call to office, before filling, yes ok. Never had that before, just shows how hot it has been, thankfully much cooler this morning
Hays hauled and undercover, lovely drop of rain overnight, freshen the grass up.
@Jdunn55 airline ? But could simply be a one off, in this heat, or cows coming in shitty, where they have kept in a huddle, and stood/led down in the mess.
Highly likely to have been operator error, don’t panic just yet. Ours went from 2200 down to 20 this am. Check tank, Chems are being taken up and wait and see what happens now this heat has passed.The hot water comes from a cotswold water heater, I'll try and empty it and have a look inside if it doesn't come down, cold water comes straight from a borehole
Chemicals should all be fine, venture were out last week sorting my feeders out as they packed up and the week before servicing the parlour and we changed the rates but other than that they said they were fine
Also suffering from flies, was going to swish all the cows (as long as theres no milk withdrawal as I havent looked!) But got told by someone trying to sell me stuff that it's a waste of time at the point in the year and needs doing in april/may for it to work?? Is this right?
Experience has taught me " Never Assume "Agreed, but one would hope that a business specialising in refrigerated food products has a more regimented temperature checking protocol.
It could well be, I do all the mornings and I like to think I'm pretty good, but had someone here for the past 6 weeks who has been less good hes handed his notice in now (not upset I wont lie) so will soon see!Highly likely to have been operator error, don’t panic just yet.

We use spotinor for flies on the cows, nil milk withold (17 days for meat I think) and it certainly helps keep them from pestering them for 4-6 weeks.The hot water comes from a cotswold water heater, I'll try and empty it and have a look inside if it doesn't come down, cold water comes straight from a borehole

That's what I thought but he said I'd be wasting my money as you need to do it in april/may and then keep repeating every 6 weeks in order for it to work? BUT he was a salesman and was trying to sell me fly spray in bulk...We use spotinor for flies on the cows, nil milk withold (17 days for meat I think) and it certainly helps keep them from pestering them for 4-6 weeks.
