COMPOSITIONAL TESTING OF
MILK. NOW OFFICIAj.-
IN ONTARIO.
In lweping with the advances
that have been made within the
industry in Ontario during the
past year, Hon . Wm. A. Stewart
Minister of Agriculture and Food,
has announced, that the central
laboratory compositional testing,
of milk is now official in Ontario,
Addressing the First Annual
"Meeting of the Ontario Milk
:Marketing Board. Mr. Stewart
said that the dairy industry must

Seems to characterize every

•'lt is with recognition of milk
marketing concepts that I wish
to announe central laboratory
testing of milk as the basis for
nil milk purchased in Ontario,"
said the Minister.
The compositional testing will
be carried out by the Infrared
Milk Analzer commonly known
as IRMA.
Time Minister pointed out that
for several years the fairy
'Branch of the Department has
given study to the Contra labor-
atory concept for compositional
testing, of milk, With quality im-
provemener in mind, three pilot
areas wore set up in 1961 in
Tirizbion, l<emptville and Guelph,
'.-Tbese niIor projects were suc-
cessful.' sold the Minister. "With
laboratories of the Ontario
Department of health located
through the Province. an agre-
ement war reached where all
indo:sirint milk samples would be
tested for quality, which other-
wise could no be tested in the
dairy branch laboratories at
Kemptville and Guelph. This
has developed central lab-
oratory quality testing of all milk
samples at least once a month
in the Province,
The Minister said that one of
the tinnder obstacles in the de- 1
yelopinent et' the compositional
milk testing, laboratories was
the fact that the Babcock test
has been recognized for the test-
ing of Mater fat for many years,
"Yet it was a manual test
operated by people," said the
Minister. "It Was realized that it
would be doUbtfal if the greatly
increased cost of making' the
Babcock test in a central labor-
atory would result in any.
More efficient and accur-
ate, results titan that being done
now in our dairy plants under the
supervision of the Dairy Branch.
