XHE WAYNESVILLE MO I INT A INKER ^ SANITARIANS Jack Arlington (above) and Bill Milner of tbe Haywood County Health Department visit county dairies periodically to take samples of raw milk for direct microscopic examination. Sanitarians also inspect pasteurization and other milk pro ducing equipment at bulk plants, and check to see that uiilk trucks keep dairy products sufficiently cool to prevent deterioration. (Mountaineer Photos) BACTERIAL COUNTS from producers' samples of raw milk are being prepared here by Mrs. Murray for staining and counting under the microscope. On the farm, cows are tested periodically for diseases, and frequent Inspections are made to see that barns and equipment used in the production of milk meet standards of cleanliness. Rl'TTF.RFAT CONTENT of rtUU milk samples is ntinuM by the Babcock test, bo Ini made here by Mrs. Rebekah Murray, bacteriologist at the Haywood County Health Center. This is one of a number of safeguards maintained by dairies and the Health Department to insure the purity of milk sold in the county. Various Safeguards Protect Haywood Milk Consumers By JACK ARRINGTON Senior Sanitarian Haywood Health Dept. < Milk is the most perfect food provided by Mother Nature. How ever, because of its high rate of deterioration, many safeguards must be practiced by the dairy farmer, the pasteurisation plant operator, and your Health Depart ment, to keep it pure and whole some for you. the consumer. Milk from a Grade "A" dairy farm must come from cows that are healthy. Cows are tested year ly for diseases, and any cow that is found with a disease is excluded from the herd. Dairy barns where the cows are milked also must be kept clean. Routine inspections of these dairy farms are made by the Health De partment to see that the barn and equipment are clean. After the milk comes from the cows it is then placed into a cool er where it is cooled to 50 degrees F. within two hours. Cooling of milk retards the growth of bac teria. Milk must be kept at 50 de grees F; or below from the dairy farm to the consumer, except dur ing the time of pasteurization. We follow the milk from the dairy farm to the pasteurization plant on an insulated truck. Here 't?p milic is received and tests are made for the quality of the milk. The man emptying the milk will smell of the milk for any odors that will cause a taste in the milk, i.e. wild onion, silage odor, etc. Here at the dump, vat samples of the milk are taken to be analyzed by the plant operator and the Health Department. The milk must meet the baeterial requirements Of the plant operator and the U. S. Public Health Service laws, before it is allowed to be processed and sold to the public. Your Health Department makes routine inspections of the pasteur ization plants for cleanliness. Pas teurization of milk further safe guards this near-perfect food, by killing all pathogenic bacteria. After the milk is pasteurized, it leaves the plant in containers cov ered with ice on insulated trucks going to homes, stores, cafes, schodls, and other places. At any time, the driver of the delivery truck might be stopped by a sanitarian to collect a milk sam ple. which is brought into the Health Deparftnent lab to be check ed for bacteria, butterfat content, and proper pasteurization. The milk that you get from the pasteurization plants is safe to use. because the dairy farmer, the pas teurization plant operator, and your Health Department keep checking the milk constantly for anything that might harm the health of the public.
