Antibiotic Test Kits. It is the supplier’s responsibility to provide milk that is free from Antibiotic contamination. Private on-farm Test Kits will not be recognised as an official test kits and should be used as a guide only. If DFMC members have their own test kits, they are responsible for the maintenance, operations and results of the use of those kits. Please see Section 3.1.2 (Demerit Points Related to Antibiotics) regarding policy and penalties associated with suppling milk which has tested positive at factory for antibiotics. LDD factories and tanker contractors have approved test kits that can be used to determine whether a contamination from antibiotics has occurred on farm. It is the supplier’s responsibility to make contact with the RM, FSO, or Tanker Company to arrange for the sample to be tested. Tankers may be diverted to pick up samples off farm. The supplier must deliver them to the tanker or the testing facility. Testing will not be performed on individual cow samples, as test kits are not calibrated to test samples other than bulk milk samples.
