Injuryprone wrote: » Having trouble here too. Not only did they test a 4 day collection but they took a further 2 days to do the test as the sample had to come back to mallow from wherever they're going with it. They're not testing at weekends either afaik so Friday samples won't be tested til Monday I came across the following table in a teagasc slideshow to new entrants in 09. According to it tbc goes bananas after 3 days. Think it should be in the supply agreement that tbc tests will be done before milk is 3 days old. Will be bringing it up with my advisor once I get a few more samples tested
