Standardizing milk

Hi, Milk Fans

Why should milk be standardised?

So that the consumer knows what they are buying.  At the moment on the drinking milk market we pay the same price for Friesian milk with a 3.3% butterfat and 3% protein score as for Jersey milk with a 4.5% butterfat and 3.8% protein content.

This should not be making sense to the consumer or to the farmer! Should milk be standarized by mixing with other milk or with water?   Will consumers be up for this?

Please feel free to give your opinion on the forum at www.dairy-info.org

Sarel Moore visits Elsenburg

Hi, Milk Fans

Sarel Moore of the South African Milk Recording Scheme visited today and gave the thumbs up for Elsenburg Dairy Lab to do analysis for them in the Western Cape!

The tests to be done are fat, protein, lactose, urea and somatical cell count.

Thanks, Sarel

Yes, it’s true! Mark of Rhine Ruhr South Africa visited us today and calibrated the CombiFoss for Urea.   No we didn’t piddle in a can!

Thanks, Mark

Cheese in China

Hi, Cheese fans

Chinese dairy companies have been urged to take advantage of abundant domestic resources of buffalo and sheep milk to grab a share of the country’s burgeoning cheese market.

This could be a big opportunity for the right company! Check out the scope for growth here:
