filtering milk?

[MrsNetty]

Should I filter the milk if I use a pump? It looks clean after I pump and I can't really find any info on it on google. Just would like to know everyone else way of doing milking procedures after pumping.

I would! Use real milk filters instead of coffee filters. You would be surprised at what can get thru coffee filters. I tested it once because so many use them (coffee filters). The results were disturbing, I couldn't believe how much debris would come thru

What's the consensus on using multiple layers of cheesecloth instead of milk filters? Yea or nay?

We don't filter ours
We just use one of those metal kitchen strainers

 

[MrsNetty]

what is the reason for filtering or straining if using a pump?

I don't know about machine milking but here is a video of how I filtered the milk. I hand milked.

I use a milking machine and still filter my milk and I still get little pieces of hay and an occasional hair in the milk. It gets on the inflations when I milk and sucked into the can I guess.

I use milk filters and the stainless steel filter from Caprine Supply

Thanks everyone. I am just new to the whole milking thing.
