milk and dairy products are important components of a balanced diet. milk does have distinct physicochemical, biological and microbial characteristics. the bacterial contamination of milk not only reduces the nutritional quality but its consumption threatens health of the society. in this study, 100 pasteurized milk samples were collected randomly from tabriz city, northwestern and were analyze...

Even though dairy cows are known carriers of Arcobacter species and raw or minimally processed foods are recognized as the main sources of human Arcobacter infections in industrialized countries, data on Arcobacter excretion patterns in cows and in milk are scant. This study aimed to identify potentially pathogenic Arcobacter species in a dairy herd and to investigate the routes of Arcobacter t...

108 milk samples were collected to study the relationship of somatic cell counts (SCC) and milk composition with milking methods and udder hygiene from 27 Holstein Frisian (HF) dairy cows having moderate milk yield in mid-lactation and parity of 2 to 4, at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University Peshawar dairy farm. All animals were randomly distributed into three categories on the basis of ...

The study was conducted in Addis Ababa town, central Ethiopia.

The aim of this work was to study possibilities of using microbiological broadspectrum inhibitor test (Delvotest T) for express estimation of antibiotic residues in bovine milk. For quantitative estimation the waste-milk samples were stepwise diluted (dilution array) by antibiotic-free milk until negative test result was achieved. Another objective was to evaluate heat treatment efficiency of w...
