The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect milking hygiene practices, herd size, water hardness, and temperature-humidity index (THI) on physicochemical microbiological characteristics raw milk, standard plate count (SPC) in machines dairy farms central region Mexico. Data were collected from fifty-three during one year. evaluated effects included conditions (good, medium, poor), si...

Milk in its natural state is a highly perishable material because it is susceptible to rapid spoilage by the action of naturally occurring enzymes and contaminating microbes. Good hygiene practice from the farm to dairy, effective refrigeration regimes, reduction of storage times and technologies for reduction of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms are basic measures needed to be accomplishe...

In hygiene and technology of foods, almost all the species within the group of lactic acid bacteria have their meaning, as in the positive (fermentation, antimicrobial activity, sensory characteristics of products, probiotic effect), so in the negative sense spoilage bacteria, biogenic amines producers, antimicrobial resistance). Certain species of lactobacilli are “specialized” for use in some...

Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria are increasing threats for human and veterinary medicine. Faecal Escherichia coli (E. coli) from preweaned dairy calves is often resistant to multiple antimicrobials and calves may therefore serve as reservoirs for these bacteria and their resistance genes. This thesis investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and spread of resistant E. coli on Swedish da...

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 ...

Citizens' concerns about farm animal welfare are often dismissed on the assumption that they are not well informed about farming practices. We conducted exploratory surveys of interested citizens (n = 50) before and after a self-guided tour of a 500-head dairy farm. 'Before' survey questions explored perceptions, concerns, and values about dairy cattle farming and welfare, in addition to a shor...

Background: Milk is one of the most nutritious foods providing a variety of proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins needed to maintain, grow, and develop the body. The aim of this study was to assess microbial and chemical adulterants of raw cow milk collected from dairy farms of Hlabisa villages, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. Methods: A total of 68 raw cow milk samples were obtained fr...

INTRODUCTION healthy dietary habits are considered to improve oral health and tooth quality. Caries treatment comprises tooth restoration with dental composites and sealants, almost all (> 90%) of which contain bisphenol A (BPA). Study hypotheses were: a) breakfast and oral hygiene habits are important factors in dental caries development; and b) dental caries treatment with epoxy-resins entail...
