Owning a dairy/Recalling Milk/Manufacturer Withdrawl Dates

[Guest guest]

For anyone who has a legal dairy set up, or even less than legal, I would like

to share what I have learned this past week with you.

This is regarding antibiotic residues in milk, the state and what you need to

know about withdrawl dates on mastitis dry treat when used on goats.

I had to do a recall of 7 gallons of milk due to this. Hadn't used a dry treat

in many years and of course the first time I do I find out the Really hard way

what it can do to your life.

Due to this event we are installing our own Federally approved lab equimpment.

Huge cost output but I think betting the farm on a withdrawl time is unwise at

best.

If you are interested in how this effected us I'd be happy to share and answer

questions in order to help see to it that YOU don't go through what I just did.

To add to this caution… especially if you are starting up, make sure you find out what kind of test is require for your species.Our state requires each dairy (even if you are farmstead) have their own antibiotic testing lab.The national PMO has just changed, and now sheep dairies can no longer use Delvo P.We used Delvo P for many years and as of Oct 1, 2010 all sheep dairies in the entire country are now required to use Charm and can no longer use Delvo P. Thanks,Sheri

How long before freshening had you dry treated and how long did you hold

the milk after freshening? Thanks for sharing.

There are instances where Staph Aureus is involved that vets recommend this practice. I haven't ever done it on a goat though.
