Maritime Quality Milk (MQM), one of the Atlantic Veterinary College’s centres of expertise, serves all the Atlantic provinces. MQM uses milk-quality research to strengthen the region's agriculture and agri-food sectors and develops and markets milk-based diagnostics for disease surveillance through non-invasive testing methods.
Each year, MQM works with 335 dairy farms--that's 20,100 cows and 150,750,000 litres of milk.
Maritime Quality Milk is a research and service centre within the Atlantic Veterinary College at UPEI. The Centre has an integrated research and service capacity that is unparallelled in the Canadian dairy industry. Maritime Quality Milk marries the traditional agriculture and agri-food industry with innovative bioscience by collaborating with a network of 750 dairy producers and more than 300 farmers, industry partners, and associated research partners to improve milk quality.
