Dairy Inspection

[farmer on a bike]

Just had a Defra dairy inspector visit. Not long after an Arla Garden one (all corrections done) and he has found a list of things wrong including rusty stainless steel pipes that need covering! He also told us we MUST pre-spray cows with disinfectant. We clean dirty cows and dry wipe clean ones but he says that is not good enough. I have looked up the regulations "2. Before the milking is started the teats, udder, flank, hindquarters and adjacent parts of the abdomen of the animal shall be clean."

Tell him the Rabbi that oversees milking is happy and see how he reacts!
Where’s @Bald Rick with the a suitable meme.

He also said we could use inline milk filters instead of pre stripping yet the regulation says “At the start of the milking of an individual animal, the milker shall inspect the appearance of the milk”

So do you have to have a re inspection?

no, just photos showing corrections

Now all you need is a Red Tractor inspection for another list of corrections and you'll wonder why you bother

 

[Y Fan Wen]

How do you have 'rusty stainless steel'?

He’s right then as long as you look at them at the start

Different grades of stainless steel. Think it’s 303 has a higher ferrous content than 316 ( think that’s the numbers they use )

What a jobs worth makes you mad. The only day I'm allowed to lie through my teath is red tractor inspection day!

I'm being honest but basically paraphrasing he said what it a thief was here and he got on the roof........ Lost for words.

Another time someone said what if a contractor was here to work on the roof. How would he know the roof was fragile. I said if I pointed out to him the roof was fragile i'd be lucky not to get a punch in the nose.

Go on the All things Dairy thread and you'll see plenty of cows that would fail the above. And in the advert to your right

The lower grade is 304, but the most common reason for stainless looking rusty is using angle grinders or other tools that have been used on mild steel. That leaves minute traces behind, which then rust. The best way of removing it is hydrofluoric acid paste, but be extremely careful with ppe as it is nasty stuff and will dissolve skin, eyes etc very quickly https://www.waspsupplies.com/stainless-steel-pickling-paste-gel-739-p.asp
