Abstract
The saying ‘you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear’ is true of milk processing. The quality of the starting raw milk has a very definite effect on the yield and quality of products made from it. The compositional quality, the hygienic quality, the health of the cow in terms of mastitis and the level of contaminants present can all have an impact on the yield and/or quality, and hence financial return from products made from milk. This chapter summarises the impact of raw milk quality on the yield and quality of products made from it.
