We are always around when the tanker arrives so haven't had a problem that way.
sorry but I would be complaining about especially not stirring the tank.thats p1ss poor.
One day the driver never took a sample at all but we still got a result...........
Had that happen back in the winter,came back as a fpd failure [emoji23] you gotta laugh otherwise so you’d cry sometimes
Had 4 high bactoscans in a row 200-300’s jug tested all the robots, buffer tank, silo, checked diaphragms etc, wanted to check the silo washing so stayed up for the tanker and found the cold water solenoid was only letting a tiny bit of water through, would missing the cold rinse at the beginning and end of the wash be enough to have bactoscans that high? Have replaced solenoid this evening and seems to work fine now. Will find out thurs morning if it’s worked I guess.
we suffered last summer, swabbed, nothing, tried every chemical going, nothing, checked, and rechecked tank, that had the lowest reading, washed out the airline every other day, no split liners ,took plate cooler out, sampled the water, fine, as we are on a borehole, flushed all the pipes and storage tank, nothing, put a cupful of hypo down the bore every day, prewashed every cow with a pre-dip, post dipped, more samples, oh its this, or its that, spent £1000's on chemicals testing etc, let alone what it cost us in deductions, son who does all the milking, said f##k it, went back to what we'd allways done, and bs came down as well, and still is down.Cooks the protein? Heat is good on fat?
If you don’t use it quickly be careful buying an IBC of Hypo, as it’s a chlorinated product it will vaporise (especially if the lid is left off like it is in most cases on a farm) you will end up with half a drum of water. As its a relatively cheap product it gets overused and it’s something that will cause the most damage to a milking plant through overuse.Never thought of that, we've always went through Murray farmcare of Birch's in dumfries to get chems,can you buy from them direct? Wonder how much an ibc of hypo is
Hows your bactoscan now?Had 4 high bactoscans in a row 200-300’s jug tested all the robots, buffer tank, silo, checked diaphragms etc, wanted to check the silo washing so stayed up for the tanker and found the cold water solenoid was only letting a tiny bit of water through, would missing the cold rinse at the beginning and end of the wash be enough to have bactoscans that high?

ok good luck.42 so still ropey, had milk recording results yesterday so dumped a couple of offenders and put tank to do a double wash and purged with chemical on the one wash so fingers crossed should see a improvement on next collections. Going to be 1p down as down 2 bands for bacto
Check tank seal around the tank valve as mine caused mega issues. At the worst my batco average was almost a 100 and with regular spikes over 1500 over several months. Rubber seal that should be grey was black , green and yellow in places and black behind into flanges of recessed.42 so still ropey, had milk recording results yesterday so dumped a couple of offenders and put tank to do a double wash and purged with chemical on the one wash so fingers crossed should see a improvement on next collections.
