Keeping on top of milk Bactoscans is an all year round task, although levels are higher in the housed period. Dairy farmers should aim to have Bactoscan levels below 30,000/ml to avoid milk payment penalties.
Maintaining a low Bactoscan count requires a good milking routine, effective parlour washing and efficient milk cooling. This Farming Note provides an understanding of the sources of bacteria and the potential causes of high Bactoscans. It also offers solutions to maintain or improve your milk’s Bactoscan levels.
