“…The cost price calculated for one liter of pasteurized milk is lower than the factory-selling price (27.06 DZD/L against 23.20 DZD/L), a loss equivalent to -16.63%. This result corroborates the estimation of the profitability of two other dairy industries located in Adrar and Bechar (Southwest of Algeria) whose calculated loss was in the range of -13.64% and -81.55% respectively for the BPM (bagged pasteurized milk) (Benyagoub et al 2018;Benyagoub, 2018).…”

“…However, the fermented milk and its raw material that are not subsidized by the State (the taxes have increased by two percent from 17 to 19 % pursuant to the provisions of articles 26 and 27 of the Finance law for 2017 having amended articles 21 and 23 respectively of the turnover tax code (CTCA) (Ministry of Finance, 2017) whose company has the right to base the selling price according to the market to have the expected distribution margin where their calculated cost was 24.35 DZD/L, while the quay selling price was 46.41 DZD/L. This shows that the dairy has a profit of +14.65 DZD per liter, with a distribution margin of + 60.16% against a profit of +37.56% and +30.43% for the same product manufactured by two others dairy industries in Adrar and Bechar (Algeria) respectively (Benyagoub et al 2018, Benyagoub, 2018. However, the profit generated is not included the VAT.…”

In this work, we are interested in studying the investment challenges of packaged reconstituted milk production in Southwest of Algeria. To reach this objective, we have calculated the cost price of two products (pasteurized milk and fermented milk) which present the main production line of the dairy factory of Bechar, to assess the profitability of the company. The cost price of milk was calculated from the general balance that shows all the movements of the accounts which we have established the table of counting results ‘TCR’ corresponding to the different charges directly related to the milk manufacturing. The analysis of spending data showed that for this factory, the cost price of one liter of pasteurized milk was estimated at 27.06 DZD/L compared to fixed selling price at the dairy factory level (23.20 DZD/L), which reveals a deficit of -3.86 DZD/L (-16.63%), while produced fermented milk showed a profit of +14.65 DZD/L representing a margin of distribution equivalent to (+60.16%) of the cost price that was estimated at 24.35 DZD/L. This study provides a platform which can be used, not only, to define the ability of dairy factory to overcome competitive market challenges, but also the pre-requisite programs (PRP) installation challenges required to implement a quality system promoting the quality of milk and dairy products.

“…At the Maghreb level, Algerians are the largest consumers of milk and dairy products [2]. The development of the country's resources receives great attention [3], including livestock through government programs and significant financial support for livestock breeders to produce a sufficient amount of milk and meat [4,5]. Known for their activities mainly related to agriculture and livestock, rural communities depend on milk, traditional dairy products, and artisanal activities, for their nutrition and as family income for livelihood.…”

This study aims to estimate the in situ effect of Phoenician juniper leaves on the physicochemical and microbiological quality of fermented goat's milk stored under ambient conditions. In this study, we used two samples. The first sample was goat's milk flavored with juniper leaves, compared to the control sample without juniper leaves. We analyzed three physicochemical parameters: pH, titratable acidity, and temperature. Furthermore, the bacteriological analysis focused on the following parameters: Total aerobic mesophilic flora (TAMF), total coliforms (TC), fecal coliforms (FC), coagulase-positive Staphylococci (CoPS), and pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella spp and Listeria monocytogenes). The physicochemical results showed a change in the pH and titratable acidity of both samples with a higher acidity for the test sample compared to the control sample. This change was marked by an increase in a load of total aerobic mesophilic flora and lactic acid bacteria, a decrease in the total coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms, and the Staphylococci load in the test sample compared to the control sample, which experienced an increase in these bacterial parameters. For the test sample, juniper leaves reduced bacterial contaminants in fermented goat's milk by 38% for total coliforms, 41% for fecal coliforms, and 89% for staphylococci. Both samples were free of Salmonella spp and L. monocytogenes. These results are probably due to the effect of bioactive compounds of Juniperus phoenicea L leaves known for their antimicrobial effect. This traditional practice of our ancestors can improve the quality of fermented goat's milk stored even at ambient temperature.

“…In Algeria, milk has an important place in everyone's diet, not only because of its richness in nutrients, but also because it is financially supported by the Algerian state (Amellal 1995;Benyagoub et al 2017) which has experienced an increase in milk consumption that exceeds 160L/person/year (Benyagoub et al 2018b), and the large part of the produced milk by replenishment of the milk powder as raw material is provided by the dairy industries and therefore results in an increase in discharged dairy effluents highly loaded with organic matter, where the volume that did not undergo any treatment and released into nature could constitute a threat to the ecosystem and to the public health (Benyagoub et al, 2018a).…”

This present work is a part of the liquid discharges treatment topic by studying the removal performance for thermotolerant coliforms (FC) and fecal streptococci (F.Strep) by a local natural light green clay from Kenadsa (Bechar-Algeria) under continuous adsorption processes in a fixed-bed column. The study estimated the clay adsorbing efficiency by the adsorption technique for bacteria contaminating the dairy effluent by determining the bacterial load before and after treatment. The mean log counts per 100 ml for FC and F.Strep were assessed by MPN method on liquid medium. The clay material characterizations were made through X-ray diffraction, X fluorescence spectrometry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. Besides, some parameters were estimated such as the breakthrough time tb (clay filter breakdown); the amount of the contaminating bacteria that was removed at the breakthrough time Xb and the exhaustion of disinfection capacity Xe; the total amount of contaminating bacteria flowing through the column Xtotal; and the total removal efficiency (Y). According to the XRD, XRF and FTIR results, the predominant mineral constituents were silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, ferric oxide and magnesium oxide with rates of 59,44; 18,09; 7,79; and 3,87%, respectively, and hence, their classification among non-swelling clay minerals, illite is the major mineral group of this material. The results of the bacteriological analysis of raw dairy effluents showed an average bacterial load of 3,88 Log10 and 4,1 Log10 CFU/100 mL for FC and F.Strep, respectively, exceeding the thresholds set by the national and the international regulations. The results of the dairy effluents treated by the tested material have shown that the used clay has a relatively high adsorption property for the clay fixed-bed system (3 cm of bed height), expressed by a total removed efficiency Y (%) of FC and F.Strep used to evaluate the column performance ranging from 55 to 84%. It gives a higher log removal for FC and F.Strep (0.98–1.65 Log10) reported from the first adsorption process, and a breakthrough time ranged from 100 to 250 min, which was inversely proportional to the initial bacterial load of discharges and also linked to the nature of the bacterial contaminants. When the breakthrough occurs earlier, the column service life will be shortened. For the studied parameters, the results of treated effluent complied with national and WHO regulations for unrestricted agricultural irrigation, otherwise, as authorized effluents to be discharged into nature without risks. These preliminary results are very promising at laboratory scale as an innovative green technology, treatment method respecting the environment and opens up prospects for the future, where the modification or the optimization of operating conditions such as the bed height of the fixed bed for adsorption, the volumetric flow rate or the clay structure like the particle size distribution of the adsorbents, known as one of the adsorbent classes endowed with an antimicrobial property, can improve the column performance, and further, the removal or even more the disinfection process by adsorption method.
