Dairy Testing Real Review - Alkmonton Dairy

Calibre have been working with Alkmonton Dairy for the last 6 months as they set up their new dairy production facility to process and bottle their own products for sale in the local community.

Alkmonton Dairy is a family run business in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. In April 2019 after getting married, Richard and Jo wanted to come up with a way to supply their produce direct to the consumer rather than through a large-scale retailer.  

Over the last 12 months, Alkmonton have turned their idea into reality and expanded to develop their own state of the art dairy to process and bottle their own milk straight from their Pedigree Ayrshire herd.

Richard and Jo understand the importance in the health and welfare of their herd and provide the best treatment and housing all year round. They use the industry’s most accurate and reliable testing equipment to ensure a safe and high-quality milk is being processed. 

 Alkmonton recently became a customer to Calibre for antibiotic and pasteurisation testing. Calibre supply Charm antibiotic test solutions, which are used by the UKs major processors, and the perfect solution for Alkmonton to quickly detect any residue in the milk before processing and bottling.  Calibre’s Dairy Range is ideal for the UK dairy industry, with solutions available for dairy farmers and processors no matter what their size is. 

“We found working with Calibre an easy and straight forward process, Ben was extremely helpful in demonstrating the options for equipment we needed when setting up the new facility. He was very knowledgeable on the products and provided an excellent service. Calibre are great to deal with and they supply everything you may need for dairy testing equipment.”
