Manager Dairy Interview Question:

Tell me can cows, which have been treated with antibiotics, be milked into the traditional milk bucket?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Yes, if the milk bucket does not draw its vacuum directly from the milk line. The vacuum must come off a separate line. If the milk line is also your vacuum line, this is not acceptable because overflow from the bucket will go directly into the milk line. Ultimately, the safest method is to have separate herds for treated cows and untreated cows. The treated cows should be milked last, or with completely separate equipment.
