Formation of TCM can occur during the milking process if chlorine-containing detergents are used to clean the milking machine and bulk tank.

The current limit in milk is &lt;0.00124mg\/kg; this is easily achieved when chlorine-free detergents are used for milking plant cleaning, which is now required by most milk processors.<\/p><p>The key points to achieving a low TCM score are:<\/p><ul><li>use chlorine-free products to clean milking machine equipment<\/li><li>do not stock pile chemicals<\/li><li>store chemicals correctly out of direct sunlight<\/li><li>use adequate rinse levels for all rinses (14l\/unit)<\/li><li>ensure adequate drainage of the milking system between milkings<\/li><li>ensure detergents are in date<\/li><li>read the label<\/li><li>ensure automatic wash systems are calibrated correctly<\/li><li>avoid teat disinfectants that contain chlorine dioxide\/chloride or iodine<\/li><\/ul><p>Peracetic acid should be used as a replacement for chlorine for disinfection of wells or to sterilise a milking plant or bulk milk tank before the next milking if water quality is an issue on farms.
