Milk Reception is the step in the trade with milk where responsibility for the raw milk goes from the milk producer to the Dairy.
The registration of delivered milk, the temperature and samples for quality control occur here.
At least once a week, samples of raw milk should be taken to a laboratory test and checked for the following:
- Somatic cell count
- Bacteria count
- Protein and Fat content
- Freezing point
Based on these test results, the Dairy will pay the Farmer for his milk.
