Milk sampling for analysis.
Every time milk is collected from a farm, a sample of milk is extracted
for analysis at a specialised lab. The driver of the tanker truck carries out the extraction
in compliance with all hygiene regulations. He has been trained by the lab and qualified to
conduct proper extraction.
➤ A sample is extracted
(manually or via an automatised system) each time milk is collected from a farm
➤ The sample is
immediately placed in a refrigerated container
•
The itinerary of a milk sample for quality analysis.
Every day, the lab collects samples, which they analyse the same day or
the following morning. All precautions are taken to preserve the quality of the samples and
to ensure that the analysis reflects the quality of the milk delivered by the producer.
Quality of the milk collected, hygiene, refrigeration chain, traceability and delivery
times: nothing is left to chance!
➤ The analysis is carried
out immediately in the lab and without prior notice.
➤ The results are
delivered within 48 hours to the farmer and the dairy plant via a digital system (INFOLABO).
