Twelve different liquid market milks of Bangladesh were examined to evaluate their chemical and sanitary quality. Six of these were open raw milk bought from local daily markets and the other six were processed packet milk (both pasteurized and UHT [Ultra High Temperature] processed) available in shops. The twelve samples were examined for the determination of percentage of water, total soluble...

Professional heifer growers and dairy producers are faced with the challenge of raising healthy calves, while still paying close attention to rearing costs and profit. Factors that may be considered in selecting a liquid feeding program may include the number of calves fed, economics and cash flow, nutritional characteristics, calf performance targets, resource availability (e.g. consistent sup...

the aim of this study was to evaluate aflatoxin m1 (afm1) contamination in pasteurized milk samples in mashhad, iran. one hundred and ten milk samples from different supermarkets were collected during three months in spring and investigated by enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (elisa). afm1 was found in 100% of the milk samples. about 5.4% of the samples contained afm1 greater than the maximum...

In a pasteurized milk process, the milk must be heated to above 72C and subsequently cooled to a low temperature about 4C in order to ensure a food safety. According to the real pasteurized milk plant, individually single variable control approach including manual control with butterfly valve and automatic control by on-off controller have been carried out to control milk level at storage tanks...

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a potentially lethal pathogen which has been responsible for several outbreaks of milk-borne illness in recent years. The objective of this study was to evaluate the survival and metabolic activity (indexed by bioluminescence) of a chromosomally lux-marked strain of E. coli O157:H7 in raw, pasteurized and microfiltered pasteurized milk at 4 and 20°C for up to 14 d. R...

OBJECTIVE To determine, by the creamatocrit measurement, the effect on the fat content of raw and pasteurized donor milk of freezing during 3 months at -20 °C. METHODS The evolution of the creamatocrit measurement (following Lucas technique) on frozen (-20 °C), raw and pasteurized human milk, was analyzed during 3 months. RESULTS The fat content of raw milk (n=44) was 3.19 g/dl at the begin...

background: aflatoxin m 1 (afm 1 ) is the metabolite of aflatoxin b1 (afb 1 ) and is found in milk when lactating animals are fed with contaminated feedstuff.  the presence of afm 1 in milk, pose a major risk for humans especially kids as it can have immunosuppressive, mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. the present study is aimed to investigate the oc­currence of afm 1 in subsidiz...
