Cooling

Rapid and efficient milk cooling is essential for preserving milk quality. Milk leaves the udder at approximately 101°F (38°C) and the heat in fresh milk must be quickly removed. Milk retains a natural resistance to bacteria immediately after extraction, but only rapid cooling to a storage temperature of around 38°F (4°C), prevents or minimizes further micro-organism growth.

DeLaval offers most comprehensive range of technical, on-farm milk cooling equipment globally, because we recognize the importance of effective cooling to quality milk production.
