Milking Plant and Vat Inspection Checklist

This dairy farm inspection checklist helps assess the cleanliness and hygiene of the milking plant and bulk milk vat on a quarterly basis. It guides inspectors through visual checks of claw bowls, liners, milk tubes and lines, butterfly valves, air lines, milk meters, cup removers, sanitary traps, milk pumps and non-return valves, filters and drain valves, plate coolers, delivery lines, vat outlets and agitators. Use it to document findings, assign corrective actions, and set completion timelines to maintain milk quality and compliance with on-farm hygiene standards.
