PEIVMA Quality Milk Award

In 1984 the PEI Veterinary Medical Association established the Quality Milk Award to recognize and honour the Island dairy farm achieving the lowest somatic cell count average in the past year.  A low somatic cell score in milk is confirmation of excellent udder health of the dairy herd.  Many factors contribute to udder health; including nutrition, sanitation and biosecurity, clean and comfortable cow housing, milking management and milking machine maintenance, and perhaps most importantly, a commitment to creating the most comfortable and pleasant environment for the entire cow herd.

The award is given annually to the farm with the lowest average somatic cell score as determined by the PEI Dairy lab.
