Raw Milk Testing

Our dedicated Milk Analytical Services team have been testing farm samples on behalf of the Australian dairy industry since 1954.

Specialising in compositional and quality testing of bovine raw milk, we pride ourselves on our same-day, 365-day-a-year integrated reporting system, supporting our local dairy farmers and wider dairy industry.

Milk testing is an essential component of any milk processing industry, whether small, medium, or large. Milk, being made up of 87% water, can be tampered with.

Moreover, its high nutritive value makes it an ideal medium for the rapid multiplication of bacteria, particularly under unhygienic production and storage at ambient temperatures. In order for any processor to make good dairy products, good-quality raw materials are essential. A milk processor or handler will only be assured of the quality of raw milk if certain basic quality tests are carried out at various stages of the transportation of milk, from the producer to the processor and finally to the consumer.
