Cleaning on dairy farms

The private farm milks about 600 liters of milk per day. All milk is filtered with 6 layers of gauze before cooling, which only retains large impurities and animal hair. Dairy plants are not interested in accepting small batches of milk. There is a preliminary agreement with a private cheese factory, but the milk does not meet the QMAFAnM and somatic cell count indicators. Now milk is handed over to the collector at €0.22 per liter. Revenue per day is 600 liters X €0.22 = €132, per month — €3960.

Installing the UVMILK Simple ultra-fine filter on the milking machine allows you to clean fresh milk in the bactericidal phase, thereby ensuring low QMAFAnM and somatic cell count indicators. Filtration costs per month are about €50. When selling milk to a private cheese factory at €0.28 per liter, the monthly revenue of the private farm is: 600 liters x €0.28×30 days = €5,040. Additional profit of the private farm: €5,040 — €3,960 = €1,080. Payback period for filters: 2 days.

«We have cows and goats on our private farm. We process our products ourselves. We produce fermented milk products, cottage cheese, cheese and butter. We trade several days a week at the market, and also through social networks. We plan to increase the volume of milk and dairy products, so we visit exhibitions and see what’s new, what we can use on our farm. At one of the exhibitions, we met the guys from the company UVMILK.

Before the cooler, the milk passed through a stocking filter. At first, UVMILK filters were used after stocking filters, but now we don’t use stocking filters at all. Both we and our customers have noticed that the products have improved. For example, the excess sourness has gone from the cottage cheese, and the cheese has a more pleasant aroma. The filters are very convenient to install and replace. When changing, we see all the dirt that was previously in the milk.»

The dairy farm produces about 18,000 liters of milk per day. During milking, it is not always possible to track the fall of the milking cup with the teat rubber and dirt gets into the milk. The lack of proper cleaning leads to high bacterial contamination, reduced shelf life and unstable milk grade. When delivering the entire volume of milk as first grade at 0.3 instead of 0.33 €, the lost profit will be: 18,000 liters X 0.03 € = 540 € per day. If the grade is missed once a week, the monthly loss is 540 X 4 = 2160 €.

Using UVMILK Max milk filters during milking will ensure the purification of the entire volume of milk from mechanical impurities and reduce the level of bacterial contamination. As a result, the milk grade increases, as does its purchase price. By investing about €80 per month in filtration, you can ensure additional hygiene control during milking and receive an additional profit of €540 per day. Payback period for filters: 1 day.

«I have been working in animal husbandry for over 20 years, and we used UVMILK filters on another farm. Here, we initially ordered from another supplier, the filters themselves were lilac-colored, crumbled in our hands even before installation, and there were constant difficulties with delivery, although we ordered and paid for them in advance. We received an offer from UVMILK managers, and agreed on it with the management. The delivery was made within a few days, no delays, fast and accurate.

We change the five-ton filters after each milking, and we monitor this very strictly. No one is immune from the human factor. When replacing the filter, hair and bedding particles are visible, which means that none of this gets into the cooling tank. We deliver milk to several dairy plants, and it is also used for baby food. We are confident in the quality, there are no complaints. We receive calls from other suppliers, but we don’t want to jump from one to another because of a price difference of pennies.»

Daily, the dairy farms of the agroholding produce a total of 120 tons of milk. Milking is carried out using a carousel-type platform, in which there are only stocking filters, when they break, all the previously accumulated dirt gets into the milk pipeline and cooling tanks. When delivered, the milk meets the indicators of the first grade. When delivering 40 tons of milk at 0.3 instead of 0.33 €, the lost profit will be: 40,000 liters X 0.03 € = 1200 € per day.

Using UVMILK Big milk filters in front of the cooling tank allows you to clean milk from the smallest particles of bedding, feed, manure, which are a source of butyric acid bacteria. Filtration of milk in front of the cooling tank in the bactericidal phase ensures stable indicators of the QMAFAnM, purity group, without reducing fat content and density. By investing about €400 per month in filtering, you will receive a planned profit of €1,200 per day. Payback period for filters: 1 day.

«Last year, our farm became part of an agroholding. The new management set the task of improving the quality of commercial milk. To do this, the equipment was modernized and serious work was done to improve the milking culture, and workers on the farm were selectively replaced. We had long been striving for the highest grade of milk, but the somatics were failing. The somatic cell count reached 600 thousand units in 1 cm3.

Filters from the UVMILK company were installed at different production sites: an Active ultra-fine filter on each milk line and another one after the cooling tank for backup. As a result, we reached the highest grade, received stable indicators and, the most important, increased the profitability of milk production. Our farm was noted by the district administration for the growth of the achieved indicators.»
