Do NOT Freeze Samples
Only farms that milk 10 or more goats can participate.
Call the operation to determine the best time of day to visit when the bulk tank will have milk from, as
close as possible, 100% of the lactating goats. If less than 75% of the lactating goats are represented
in the tank at the time of the visit, do not sample.
Farm personnel may wish to obtain the milk samples for you which is acceptable if done aseptically.
Efforts should be made to reduce contamination during the sampling process by conscientious hand washing
and use of aseptic sampling technique.
