How to use your log

  1. Enter values exactly as supplied by your testing laboratory; check sample identities and units before comparing reports.
  2. Record the sampling point, cooling information, collection time, equipment condition and any deviation in your complete on-farm records.
  3. Review repeated results with your milk buyer, Extension dairy specialist or veterinarian to determine applicable standards and next steps.
  4. Keep written action and retest records. An arithmetic mean of different samples is descriptive only and is not an official bulk-tank, weighted, or regulatory result.
  5. Export the CSV before closing this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded or saved by this static tool.

Safety: Never decide whether milk is safe to sell, consume or process from this tool. Only applicable regulations, processor requirements, authorized test methods and qualified professional review can establish that.
