Before the farm inspection is carried out the creameries to which the milk is delivered by the farmers are inspected at the time the milk is being delivered. The temperature of the milk and its cleanliness are noted. In the creamery the straining, cooling and handling of the milk are observed as well as the washing of the milk cans and other utensils, and the construction and condition of the creamery, the opportunity for the water supply to become contaminated, and the presence of infectious diseases among the employees.
