Abstract

Milk residues - just the mention of it creates fits of anger, anxiety, fear, confusion and distrust. There are many perceptions on how and why residues occur but in reality are they truely accurate or are they painstakingly misleading? My hope is that this paper can give you the facts and information to make sound decisions and recommendations for the dairies that you work on.

Cover image of Volume 32.1 of the Bovine Practitioner: a copy of the painting "Summer Scenes" by Bonnie Mohr which depicts a herd of cattle standing in a field with a dramatic skyscape in the background. The lighting is very warm and many of the cows gaze placidly at the viewer.
