This 1935 silent educational film, Quality Milk, shot in black-and-white 16mm, underscores the essentials of safe milk production. It stresses the need for a healthy, accredited herd—free of disease like tuberculosis—proper feeding with quality forage, and strict sanitary practices, from clean barns to sterilized equipment. Aimed at farmers or public health advocates, this pre-war reel reflects 1930s efforts to combat milk-borne illnesses amid rising pasteurization debates, promoting rigorous standards in an era of uneven dairy oversight.
