Twenty-two samples of pasteurised milk were taken from Park Farm Dairies, Ticknall, and twenty-one samples of heat-treated milk from Wilts United Dairies, Egginton. • Four of the samples from Park Farm Dairies proved unsatisfactory, and investigations were carried out at the Dairy, and appropriate action -taken.
