The id- entification label for the, sample vial is attached properly and the milk graded. The milk in the farm bulk tank must be agitated five minutes, or longer if nec- essary, to mix the- milk thor- oughly before the sample is tak- en. Using a sanitary straw, a one-ounce sample of milk is taken and placed in the vial. The vial should be placed in the sample case immediately. As milk samples must be kept between 32 degrees F. and 40 degrees F. until transferred to the official composite sample bottle or until they reach the Regional Health laboratories for quality testing, a special case for carrying milk samples has been introduced. This special • carrying case is well insulated and uses ice and water as the cooling • medium-. The samples are held upright in a floating tray and the ice water surrounds that part of the sample vial con- taining the milk to be tested. The bulk tank driver delivers the samples to the plant to which • he delivers his load of milk. The samples are then transferred to the official composite sample bottles with the cooperation of the plant •milk grader, unlest the sample is to be• used for checking milk quantity. If this is the case, the sample is re- frigerated until picked up and transported to the regional Health Laboratory by Milk Commission personnel. The Commission is res- ponsible for supertftsing the sampling of milk in Ontario. By checking the condition of samples as they arrive at their destina- tion, feiewlhdeterh n arete 4aabraleptteos. hdat in had proper care. Bulk tank haul- ers who have a record of disreg- arding recommended procedures in collecting and transporting samples are. required to appear before the Milk Commission and state reasons why the,,Ir certifi- cate should pot be cancelled. Many improvements have been made in milk sampling pro- cedures and in caring for samples during transportation. The Milk Commission will continue to make improvements as field ob- servations and studies establish them. The sampling of milk requires the serious attention and co- operation of the transporter, pro- ducer and processor, as well as those to whom the responsib- ility for supervision has been delegated. • 0 BY J. C. Palmer, Director Milk Commission of Ontario New problems in milk samp- lings have arisen with the instal- lation 'of bulk tanks for the stor- age of milk on the farm. The economic aspects of the prob- lem 'make it of general concern to the dairy industry and of particular concern to those res- ponsible for supervision of milk sampling. Before the introduction of the bulk tank, milk was delivered in cans to the processing plant where it was dumped. Dumping the milk provided a means, how- ever imperfect, of mixing prior to sampling. The representative. sample of each producer's milk was added to a composite bottle for testing at the end of the period of collection. In bulk tank milk, the iden- tity of the product is lost when the milk is pumped into the transport tank. It is, therefore, necessary to sample the pro- ducer's milk before pipping it 'into the tanker. This sample mist be truly representative of the producer's milk. Samples that are improperly collected.. or transported are of no value for testing. As the producer is paid on the basis of this tested sam- ple, he and the processor have an interest in this sample being representative. ' Sampling of milk is required at, each pickup. The bulk milk hauler is responsible for col- lection of samples and must hold a certificate„ofqualification from the Milk CommiisiOn. This cert- ificate is obtained on successful completion' Of a- course in mirk grading and sampling, and can be cancelled for justifiable reas- ons. Legal standards and proced- ures for the collection of milk samples are set forth inStandard Methods and A.0, A.C. If IS nec- essary to follow established guidelines in sampling to be sure that the sample is representattY9 and that it reaches the labora- tory with no change in its chein- lical, physical, or bacteriological ALWAYS READY HELP fof vls' 01:o oerow. 8 CYL ....$ tYL -$6.95 4 CYL $5.95 PARTS EXTRA • .95 ti EMIURON, EXPOSITOR0, SEAFORTH, QNT,, MAR. 2.0, 1971 65 or over?
