🦠 Win over the bacteria:

- Always wash equipment following a rigorous method.
- Use an ATP-meter to check cleanliness of the equipment.
❄️ Manage a « gold » bank :
- Colostrum can be refrigerated for 48h or freezed up to a year.
- Pasteurisation can help to limit microbial load after 60min at 60°C.
