| Title : | DETERMINATION OF RAW MILK QUALITY BY TOTAL BACTERIAL COUNT AND SOMATIC CELL COUNT IN DIFFERENT REGIONS IN REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO |
| Abstract : | The aim of this research was to determine the quality of raw milk by total bacterial count (TB) and somatic cell count (SCC) in the Republic of Kosovo. This research was carried out in a dairy plan in the territory of the Republic of Kosovo. The raw milk processed in the dairy was used for analysis during the research period. Raw milk samples were taken by every producer who delivered milk at the dairy for a period of four months (January to April). Raw milk samples came from five different areas of the territory of the Republic of Kosovo. In total 90 raw milk samples were analyzed. During the research it is determined that the quality of raw milk deviates in terms of the regulations requirements for milk quality. The average number of somatic cell counts was 657,055 cells/ml and the total bacterial count was 2,626,616 CFU/ml of the total number of the analyzed samples. There were not statistically significant differences of the raw milk of the five examined regions. |
