Representative Milk Sampling Solutions for Dairy Farms
Dairy farmers need to take raw milk samples to ensure they meet certain regulatory standards. Farmers and veterinarians regularly use QualiTru sampling systems to collect “representative” composite milk samples for quality and bonus payments, regulatory purposes, herd health management, and to isolate contamination within the milking process.
When it comes to milk sampling, QualiTru’s representative sampling solutions solve four critical problems faced by dairy farms — maintaining milk quality, contamination issues, managing mastitis, and maximizing payment. With the QualiTru sampling system, you get end-to-end process control solutions that are easy to use, cost-effective, and provide high value while reducing your risks.

QualiTru’s representative sampling system and the PMO
QualiTru’s representative sampling system is approved for use by the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO). See Regulatory Approvals.
Why is this important? According to the PMO…
“It shall be the responsibility of the bulk milk hauler/sampler to collect a representative sample of milk from each bulk milk tank and/or silo or from a properly installed and operated in-line sampler or aseptic sampler, that is approved for use by the NCIMS Conference, State Regulatory Agency and FDA to collect representative samples, prior to transferring milk utilizing an aseptic sampler from a farm bulk milk tank and/or silo truck or other container.”
