PRE-COOLING<br />

Stage<br />

Temperature Range<br />

33°C (92°F) to 15°C to 21°C (60°F to 70°F)<br />

1 ST MILKING • 10°C (50°F) within 1 hour<br />

• Greater than 0°C and less than or equal to<br />

4°C (34°F to 40°F) within 2 hours ⎯ ½ hour<br />

preferred<br />

2 ND & SUBSEQUENT MILKINGS • Blend temperature should never go above<br />

10°C (50°F) for longer than 15 consecutive<br />

minutes<br />

IDEAL STORAGE<br />

AT PICK-UP<br />

• Greater than 0°C and less than or equal to<br />

4°C (34°F to 40°F) within 1 hour ⎯ ½ hour<br />

preferred<br />

• 2°C to 3°C (36°F to 38°F)<br />

• Great than 0°C and less than or equal to<br />

4°C (34°F to 40°F)<br />

Measuring Options:<br />

*Please note that these parameters do not apply to robotic milkers.<br />

1. Tank Thermometer: You have an accurate, operating bulk tank thermometer<br />

(accurate within ±1°C) and use the bulk tank thermometer’s read-out to measure<br />

the temperature of the milk after each milking. You then permanently record the<br />

temperature and initial the record. Since the temperature may be taken directly<br />

after milking, the milk may not be greater than 0ºC and less than or equal to 4ºC;<br />

however, you must determine what temperature is normal for your system at the<br />

time the temperature is regularly taken. Furthermore, you must make sure that<br />

this “normal” temperature is indicative of a validly working system. The<br />

temperature must be taken at the same time during the post-milking procedure<br />

every day.<br />

OR<br />

2. Basic Time Temperature Recorder: You use a Time Temperature Recorder to<br />

measure the temperature of the milk after each milking. If the recorder does not<br />

have any alarms or has basic alarms (alarm system has ‘nuisance’ alarms, e.g.<br />

cooling alarm goes off when tank is empty or washing), you must open the face<br />

plate of the recorder and initial the chart (or similar method) to prove that you<br />

have checked the temperature. If the recorder is of a digital design, then you<br />

must manually record the temperature and initial the record or log on the system<br />

and insert a note proving that you checked the temperature after each milking.<br />
