Dairy Terms & Definitions Part-III


BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS (TB)
A contagious animal disease that does not pose a threat to human health. Pasteurisation effectively destroys the bacterium that causes bovine TB.
BROWN SWISS
A breed of dairy cattle that originated in the Swiss Alps and produces the second largest quantity of milk annually of any dairy breed. Their milk
averages 4 percent butterfat and 3.4 percent protein, which makes it ideal for cheese production. Brown Swiss are gray-brown in color and are known for their docile temperament.
BRUCELLOSIS
A highly contagious disease caused by ingesting unpasteurized milk or undercooked meat from infected animals, or being in close contact with their secretions. Brucella, the bacteria that causes brucellosis, is destroyed by pasteurization.
BULK TANK
A refrigerated, stainless steel storage tank located at dairy farms, designed to hold milk as soon as it leaves the cow through a series of pipes that travel from the milking parlor to the tank. The milk is cooled immediately in the bulk tank, usually to 35-39° F. The milk is collected daily, or every other day at the farm (depending on total milk volume) and shipped to a processing plant where it is bottled or used to make other dairy products.
