How Doodhvale Farms tests its milk and dairy

How is Doodhvale milk tested?

According to Doodhvale Farms, milk is tested at three stages: at the farm, on arrival at the processing unit, and again after pasteurisation, with random samples of finished packs taken after packing.

What is tested at the farm and on arrival?

Milk is tested for temperature, fat, SNF, CLR and protein, and checked for alcohol, acidity, urea, starch, detergent and antibiotics. Milk is chilled straight after milking and tested before it leaves the farm, then tested again when it reaches the Sonipat unit.

What do the independent labs test?

Doodhvale Farms also sends samples to NABL-accredited third-party laboratories, which test for somatic cell count, total plate count, heavy metals, pesticides and a wider antibiotic panel.

What is tested in paneer and other products?

Paneer and other products are checked for colour, texture, moisture, fat and fat on dry matter. Every batch of ghee is tested before it is packed.

What do the terms mean?

• SNF is solids-not-fat, the non-fat solids in milk such as protein and lactose.
• CLR is the corrected lactometer reading, a quick check on the density of milk.
• Somatic cell count is a count of body cells in milk and a standard measure of udder health.
• Total plate count is a count of bacteria in a sample and a standard measure of hygiene.
