FAQs
Bulk A2 Milk Supplier — FAQs
The questions procurement and QA teams ask us most often before starting a supply program — volumes, breeds, RT-PCR A1/A2 checking, testing panels, COA, delivery and audits. Answered plainly, without marketing language.
- What is the minimum order volume for bulk supply?
- Supply is contracted in commercial volumes rather than single deliveries. Minimums depend on breed, destination and delivery frequency, so share your daily or monthly requirement in the enquiry form and we will confirm whether it fits our current allocation.
- Do you supply to individual households?
- No. We supply only to businesses: dairy brands, milk processors, private-label businesses and institutional buyers. There is no retail pack, subscription or home delivery.
- Which breeds do you source?
- Gir and Kankrej, sourced through our Gujarat collection network. Buyers can specify a single-breed pool or a defined breed mix as part of the supply specification.
- What does your 90:10 A2:A1 specification mean?
- It is a defined procurement specification applied to the sourcing pool, established through RT-PCR A1/A2 verification of contributing animals and maintained by controlling entry to and exit from the pool. It is stated as a procurement basis, not as a protein ratio measured in every litre despatched.
- Does RT-PCR testing measure the A2 protein content of milk?
- No. RT-PCR is a DNA-based method that checks which β-casein variant an animal carries. Characterising the β-casein variants present in a milk sample is a separate protein-level analysis using different methods. We keep the two clearly distinct in our documentation.
- What testing is performed before despatch?
- Our standard panel covers FAT, SNF, protein, titratable acidity, MBRT, alcohol stability, adulteration screening and microbiological testing, with GC-based analysis applied where the specification requires it. Buyers can extend the panel in the supply agreement.
- Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis?
- Yes. Every despatched lot is released with batch documentation and a Certificate of Analysis carrying batch identity, sampling details, the method used for each parameter, the result, the specification limit and the releasing analyst's signature.
- How is milk delivered?
- Chilled raw milk is delivered in insulated stainless steel road tankers, sealed at loading, with loading temperature and transit details recorded against the batch. We supply milk by tanker; we do not sell or lease tanker vehicles.
- Which locations do you deliver to?
- Despatch originates from our Gujarat network and regularly serves plants in Gujarat and adjoining states in western and central India. Longer routes are evaluated case by case against transit time and unloading schedule.
- Can we audit your sourcing and laboratory?
- Yes. We support standard supplier-qualification processes including site visits to collection and chilling infrastructure, review of laboratory records behind an issued COA, and a traceability walk-back on a nominated lot.
- How does seasonality affect supply?
- Indigenous-cattle milk supply varies through the year. Programmes are planned around a base volume that can be held through the lean season, with an agreed flex band, rather than a peak-season figure that cannot be sustained.
- Do you make health claims about A2 milk?
- No. Research comparing A1 and A2 β-casein is ongoing and not settled. Our documentation covers sourcing basis, verification methodology and analytical results only.
