	 antibiotic residue. All such preliminary samples must be taken using the milk
	 sampling procedures in Appendix B of the PMO. The testing of the raw milk for
	 bacteria, coliform bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, and drug residue shall be
	 conducted monthly at the department's expense, and the results shall be

	 and the test results must be provided to the department.
