The effect of pre-milking teat sanitation on milk quality was investigated in twelve dairy herds in Western Australia over a period of 8 weeks. This study confirmed that pre-milking teat sanitation reduced microbial and environmental contamination of raw milk. Mastitis, soil-borne chemicals, spores, milking plant biofilm and bulk tank bacteria counts were significantly reduced using a pre-milking teat spray and wipe.
