problems in the curd formation. Since the producer selling milk has no control on when the cheese maker is going to use the milk (it could be immediately after sale or it could be several months after the sale of milk), he should be prepared to preserve the quality of milk over a long period of frozen storage (over 3 months). It is recommended that: - Milk be chilled down to 4-6 degrees Celsius before freezing - Milk be frozen quickly at low temperature (-25 degree Celsius) Freezing milk quickly at low temperature requires that the milk be placed in a container with the greatest possible exposed surface such as a flat square plastic bag (FDA approved). The bags can be placed on a shelf in a commercial walk-in freezer. This type of freezing would guarantee a high milk quality for up to 1 year of storage. It is possible that a producer finds the expenses of a walk-in freezer too high or that a cheese maker does not want milk in bags. In this case a clear understanding between producer and cheese maker should be established on the length of storage after freezing or after the sale of milk. Conclusion This papaer describes in detail several milking systems with the amount of ewes a person can milk per hour. It contains important information because the choice of a system depends greatly on the number of ewes that a producer plans to milk and whether he is milking alone or with some help.The greater the number of ewes, the more efficient the system has to be so that the producer does not spend all day in the milking parlor. Of course, the overall cost of the system is a determinant factor and often a producer will have to make a compromise between efficiency and cost. However, by decreasing the efficiency of the operation, the producer might never achieve the goals set before hand, leading to poorer financial results than expected. The choice of the milking system has to be a realistic compromise between efficiency and cost. No compromise can be made on the quality of the milking equipment (pulsator, regulator, clusters, liners…). Only equipment specifically designed to milk sheep should be used in order to have as complete evacuation of the udder as possible without causing trauma to the udder. References Billon P.. 1998.
