About the Webinar
What happens on the farm does not stay on the farm when it comes to the impact of raw milk quality on pasteurized dairy product. Many tests are used to determine the quality of raw milk, some tests tell us about animal health, some about the efficacy of milking hygiene or equipment cleaning and sanitation, etc. However, when it comes to the impact of raw milk quality on pasteurized dairy products, there are only a few parameters that are truly impactful. This webinar will cover these parameters, how they impact pasteurized dairy products and what can be done at the farm to control them.
