How to Automatically Record Milk Temperatures in the Dairy Industry – Datalogging Thermometers for PMO Compliance
The Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) by the Food and Drug Administration requires recording the temperature at multiple transfer points between producers, transporters and processors. Manually checking these temperatures to verify that the milk is within the target range of 32-40 °F (0-4.4 °C) is a good facility practice. However, the process can be automated to use less manual labor and improve ...

Agricultural Manure Drying Machine for Cows
Manure drying machines are utilized in agricultural settings to remove moisture from wet manure. The drying process breaks down manure, kills bacteria and creates pathogen-free bedding. The drying process also cuts down on storing and disposing of bulk manure and the costs associated with both activities. Dried Manure Solids (DMS) can be used as bedding for the dairy industry. A lactating ...

An automated extraction solution for the determination of Melamine and Cyanuric Acid in Milk Based Products
Abstract The determination of Melamine and Cyanuric Acid go hand in hand with one another. Melamine is an industrial chemical used in the manufacturing of amino resins, plastics, and flame retardants. Cyanuric Acid is produced by the hydrolysis of raw or waste Melamine, followed by crystallization. Melamine is used as a profitable adulterant in milk based products to increase the protein content ...

Greenhouse gas, animal performance, and bacterial population structure responses to dietary monensin fed to dairy cows
Received for publication January 27, 2009. The present study investigated the effects of a feed additive and rumen microbial modifier, monensin sodium (monensin), on selected variables in lactating dairy cows. Monensin fed cows (MON, 600 mg d–1) were compared with untreated control cows (CON, 0 mg d–1) with respect to the effects of monensin on the production of three greenhouse gases (GHG), ...
