There have been reports of bulk milk tank failures through the use of unauthorised anthelmintic in milking cattle as well as other veterinary medicines.

Randox Foods have created an ELISA test that can detect antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and anthelmintic in milk, which is used alongside the industry standard DELVO test by DAIRY UK to detect veterinary residues in milk.

Dairy UK along with vets and other industry members have created MilkSure to decrease the likelihood of bulk tank failures due to residues. This educational tool is provided by your veterinarian and involves a training course, risk assessment and online exam.

Katherine is our trained MilkSure vet and is on hand to answer any questions relating to this, feel free to email us with any enquiries to farm@oakhill-vets.com.
