BINSAR QUALITY STANDARDS
Ever wondered how a glass of pure milk reaches you?
It all starts from a dairy farm, which is committed to produce pure & nutritious milk for its consumers. Many efforts go into delivering a natural product in its natural form.
It all starts with growing fresh green fodder on the land of Haryana which is the most fertile land with best ground water. We have collaborated with farmers who grow fresh greens like Maize, Burseem, Iurcene, Sugar graze, Sorghum, Cow-Peas, Fodder Turnips, which is used as the fodder for the cows.
At Binsar Farms, our efforts are focused on land, animals, people & Internationally accepted procedures to produce and deliver milk which is of the highest quality.
At Binsar Farms, our efforts are focused on land, animals, people & Internationally accepted procedures to produce and deliver milk which is of the highest quality.
Our aim is to grow the crops with minimum usage of fertilizers in order to protect our land and make it sustainable.
Internationally accepted procedures of milking & post harvesting techniques like chilling the milk to 4 degree Celsius within 2 hr locks the freshness of the milk. It goes through pasteurization and within next 2-3 hrs bottles are packed in the batches ready to be shipped to you through overnight transport.
Our cows are housed in a green environment far from the pollutants of a city. They are provided with nutrient rich greens and RO water. The whole farm is designed for their comfort. Continuous availability of green fodder maintain good energy and protein levels in our cows making them healthy.
Our people who work with the crops, cows and the milk are committed to protect the value we are creating. This means maximum nutrition & top class hygiene.
Quality Standards (BQS)
Material, Methods and References
• It would seem most appropriate to test Fat, Protein, Solids Not Fat, Added Water, and Adulterants by the Foss FTIR MilkoScreen on site by Binsar Farms. This would require samples with reference values for calibration purposes once per month.
• Standard Plate Count and Coliform Plate Count can be readily done by Binsar using Sanita-kun and QDLoop technology (http://www.jnc-corp.co.jp/sanita/english_pdf/091001SANITAKUN_PR.pdf, http://www.hygiena.com/food-and-beverage-products/qd-loop-food-and-beverage.html). It would likely be cheaper to have bacterial testing done externally by standard plate methods, these cannot easily be done by Binsar Farms. The rapid Methylene Blue or other reductase tests are not suitable for assessing the quality of refrigerated milk, we should use traditional microbiological assessments.
• Somatic Cells could be readily done at Binsar Farms using the DeLaval DCC (http://www.delaval.co.nz/-/Product-Information1/Milking/Products/Milk-test--treatment/DeLaval-Cell-Counter-DCC/DCC/ ) It would be better to use a higher capacity lower per sample test method, such as the Fossomatic, at an external laboratory if possible.
• Sediment/Foreign Matter can be readily done at Binsar Farms using the ADMI method (http://www.gea.com/global/en/binaries/A%204%20a%20-%20Scorched%20Particles_tcm11-30908.pdf) • Antibiotics and Inhibitory Substances can be readily done at Binsar Farms using Delvo SP or a similar test (http://www.dsm.com/markets/foodandbeverages/en_US/products/tests/delvotest.html ).
• Aflatoxins. There are widespread reports in the public media of Indian milk being widely contaminated with Aflatoxins, and initial investigations indicate that Binsar and Haryana milk may also be contaminated. We need to be equipped to investigate the sources of the contamination and to implement corrective actions. There are a number of rapid and simple tests that are available that could be done at Binsar but that would be best performed at an external laboratory. Charm Science (USA) who manufacture suitable kits advise that the Nationall Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) are able to test milk samples but they are not sure about feed samples
• Reference tests need to be performed on milk samples once per month in order to prepare samples for calibrating the Foss MilkoScreen. These would include Roese Gottlieb or similar for fat, Kjeldahl or similar for protein, Oven drying for total solids, and Cryoscope for freezing points.
