Very Frequently milk is submitted
for testing and the result obtained
would indicate that the sample was
improperly taken. A few hints and
suggestions would not be amiss as to
the proper method OF taking an ac-
curate sample from the milk OF the
COW to be tested.
The first thing to remember is that
the first milk drawn contains the least
butterfat and it gradually increases in
richness until the last is drawn from
the cows udder For this reason,
in order to obtain an accurate sample,
all of the milk should be drawn and
thoroughly stirred before the sample is
taken. Take the sample Immediately
before the cream starts to rise. II
is best to take samples of night aud
morning milkings. II is found that
the richer milk is usually found after
the shorter milk period. Consequent
ly 1t is better to take n composite
sample of one or two days milklngs
4 wide neck bottle or a glass is best
as container for milk sample. The
sample should be covered to prevent
evaporation and the drying OF the
cream on the surface of sample One
test is not reliable indication of
the quality of milk. Testing should
be done at regular intervals during
the lactation period. Milk varies one
month to another. due to variety of
conditions. such as. condition OF COW
