“…The present findings are in close agreement with the findings of an earlier report [22]. On the contrary, the coliform counts in the present investigation were significantly higher than some of the other reports [23][24][25][26][27][28]. This indicates selling of unhygienic milk in and around Guwahati.…”

Background and Aim: Milk is a highly perishable commodity, which is subjected to various types of contamination right from the farm level to the consumers' table. This study aimed to assess the quality of raw milk sold in and around Guwahati city based on the microbial load. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 raw pooled milk samples collected from 25 different locations in and around Guwahati city were subjected to quality evaluation based on the methylene blue reduction test (MBRT), standard plate count, and coliform count as per the standard procedure. Results: Out of the 200 samples evaluated, more than 50% of them were graded as poor to very poor quality based on the MBRT results. None of the samples could be graded as excellent quality and only 14.5% were graded as good quality. The standard plate count and coliform count of all the raw milk samples were found to be significantly higher than the legal standard. A highly significant (p<0.01) difference was observed for standard plate count and coliform count among the different locations in and around Guwahati city. Conclusion: From the present study, it could be inferred that raw milk sold in most parts of Guwahati city do not confer to the legal microbiological standard and may pose a high risk of milk-borne illness among consumers of the city, which needs a systematic series of actions to be implemented properly.

“…Higher results of E.coli in raw cow's milk were obtained by Mohamed (2017) andEl Zubeir (2007) while lower results were noticed by Ali et al (2010). Higher results of E.coli in small scale ice cream were showed by Sobeih et al (2002), while nearly similar results were demonstrated by Hassan (2003), lower results were detected by Salem (2017) and El-Kholy et al (2018).…”

A total of 90 random samples of raw cow's milk used in small scale ice cream , small scale ice cream and large scale plain ice cream(30 samples each) collected from Assiut city, Egypt , in the period between from April and September 2019. Each sample was put in ice tank with thermometer to maintain temp. at 4C. The samples were dispatched to the laboratory with a minimum of delay where they were examined for coliforms, fecal coliforms and E.coli true faecal type. The results show that the mean counts of total coliforms in raw cow's milk, small scale and large scale plain ice cream were 2.4x10 3 , 2.8x10 2 and 1.56x10 2 cfu/ml or g. , respectively. While the mean counts of fecal coliforms were 2.1x10 3 , 1.9x10 2 and 1.32 x10 2 cfu/ml or g. , respectively and the mean counts of E.coli true faecal type count cfu/ml or g. were 2.5x10 2 , 3.3x10 2 and 1.12x10 2 cfu/mlor g., respectively. The heath hazards of coliforms, fecal coliforms and E.coli true faecal type, methods of contamination and control were discussed.

“…The exterior of the cows' udder and teats can contribute microorganisms that are naturally associated with the skin of the animal as well as microorganisms that are derived from the environment in which the cow is housed and milked (Nangamso, 2006). The bacteria which are naturally present on the skin of animal enter into milk from the surface of the udder and teats; these also include the bacteria which are present in milking and housing places of animals (Ali et al, 2010). Teats and udders of cows inevitably become soiled while they are lying in stalls or when allowed in muddy barnyards.…”

“…Milk is an important source of nutrients to human and animals and it is meant to be the first and the only food for the offspring of mammals as is almost complete food (Pandey & Voskuil, 2011). Cow milk has long been considered a highly nutritious and valuable human food and is consumed by millions daily in a variety of different products in the world (Ali, 2010). It is also an economically important farm commodity and investment option for smallholder farmers in developing countries.…”

A cross sectional study was conducted to assess the hygienic practices and bacteriological quality of milk in Dessie town, South Wollo zone in Amhara regional state, Ethiopia. The data was generated by interviewing 60 dairy cow owners and farm attendants using semi-structured questionnaire regarding milking area and barn hygiene, hygienic practice of milker, cleaning of the udder and milking equipments. The result showed that the majority of the interviewers (98.34%) milked their cows in the barn, about 88.33% clean the barn daily and others clean once, twice and three times a week. All respondents washed their hands before milking. All respondents practiced udder washing before milking but only 30% of the respondents used towel for udder drying. Plastic utensils were mainly used for milking cows and used detergents and warm water for cleaning milking equipments. Lower number of respondents (36.66%) had a habit of consuming raw milk. From a total of 70 milk samples were collected from two milking points (the teat and milking bucket), The mean total bacterial count of milk samples collected directly from the teat and the milking buckets from current finding were 5.087log10 and 5.759log10 respectively. The mean difference (0.6728 ± 0.1579) indicated the increment of bacterial count from teat to the milking bucket. The results showed very significant difference between the two points (P<0.05). About 65.71% of milk samples collected directly from the teat and milking buckets at the farm were above the accepted level 105 according to the international milk quality standard. The high count of bacteria in the milk suggests a poor bacterial quality of milk and indicating poor hygienic quality of milk. Keeping the quality of the milk is the responsibility of dairy cow owners, institutions concerned and the government. This needs training of milk producers on the importance of milk hygiene and raising awareness on risks of consumption of raw milk.
