[QUOTE="Spear, post: 5066916, member: 88756"] Almost always a sample issue for us. But it will vary from farm to farm. Years ago when night collections first started our figures went from 10-15 to 1-6k. Almost every sample. Spent fortune on ripping parlour apart and on private samples to discover cause. Nothing found. Then driver said you do realise the samples stay an extra day before being tested. 6 months, threats of stopping milk collection, heavy financial penalties while at the same time refusing to take separate sample and get tested quicker or put us back on days. Eventually they relented and change us back to days and the next sample was back below 20. Still wouldn’t admit testing was to blame but did compensate us for losses. Needless to say we changed who we supplied shortly after. We still get issues now on night collections and if put on them we insist that any rise in bactoscan is not penalised. Know of at least 3 other farms locally that suffer the same. But others don’t. Depends on the bacteria present on farms. [/QUOTE]
