<strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Milk</strong><br />

You also must record whenever a problem occurs regarding pre-rinse/wash water<br />

temperature and what corrective action was taken to remedy the situation. A sample<br />

form is in the Workbook (Record 13).<br />

7.1.4 Post-<strong>Milk</strong>ing Cleaning SOPs<br />

To ensure that milk is cooling properly and that the equipment is cleaned adequately, a<br />

post-milking cleaning SOP is an important part of your CQM program. Write your own<br />

SOP using the Workbook (Record 4) or your own variation. The SOP must contain<br />

enough information to ensure that a relief milker can set up the cleaning system.<br />

Describe step by step the various actions that must be taken to set-up the equipment for<br />

cleaning after milking.<br />

You should consider the following Best Management Practices when you develop your<br />

own SOP, but you must include the Best Management Practices that are shaded<br />

grey. This SOP should be accessible in the milk room.<br />

Check and record the milk temperature (after each milking) (this can be done<br />

automatically with some time temperature recorders).<br />

Check and record the cleanliness of milking equipment regularly (e.g. receiver jar<br />

and bulk milk tank) (minimum acceptable frequency is monthly, weekly is<br />

recommended).<br />

Check and record the temperature of the pre-rinse water (weekly) or wash water<br />

(monthly) (Record 13) (this can be done automatically with some time temperature<br />

recorders).<br />

Put the wash diverter valve into the “wash” position.<br />

Let air into the washline to empty the milkline.<br />

Clean the claws’ outer surfaces and set them in wash position.<br />

Empty the receiver.<br />

Clean the strip cup and teat dip cup.<br />

Move the milk transfer line from the bulk tank to the wash sink.<br />

Remove the milk filter, checking for milk clots and unusual dirt.<br />

Replace milk filter with a clean one if the milking system has a plate cooler.<br />

Add detergent (if using a manual system).<br />

Flick the wash panel switch to the “wash” position.<br />

Clean the milk house floor.<br />

Close the doors between the milk house and the barn (self-closing doors are<br />

recommended).<br />
