Milk Quality from Organic Farm

Milk Quality and Antimicrobial Resistance against Mastitis Pathogens after Changing from a Conventional to an Experimentally Organic Dairy Farm

The present study was to investigate the effect of the transition from conventional to organic dairy farming on the antimicrobial resistant pattern of pathogens in milk. A farm with tie-stall management, with an average herd size of 20 milking cows, was selected based on the owner’s willingness to accept, for at least 6 months, the highly restricted protocol developed in this study. Comparisons...

On Farm Pasteurizer Management for Waste Milk Quality Control

Evaluation of Chemical and Bacteriological Quality of Raw Milk from Neudamm Dairy Farm in Namibia

Concentrations of toxic heavy metals and trace elements in raw milk of Simmental and Holstein-Friesian cows from organic farm

Concentrations of toxic heavy metals (cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb)) and major nutritional and trace elements (Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, Zn) were analyzed in the milk of Simmental (n = 20) and Holstein-Friesian (n = 20) cows from an organic farm. Elements were determined using inductively coupled plasma emission atomic spectrometry. The conducted research showed that the milk of Simmental cows was c...

Economic Value and Produced Milk Quality in Holstein Lactating Cows in Organic System

In the past decade, a global demand for products from organic agriculture has increased rapidly. Milk quality is of major interest for all parties. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare cow performance and product quality in conventional and organic system. Twenty Holstein dairy cows were allotted to one of 2 diet groups, which including: a conventional diet (CON), and an organi...
