The Microobial Evaluation Of Ram Milk From A Diary Farm

The Microobial Evaluation Of Ram Milk From A Diary Farm

Abstract

Microbial evaluation of twenty samples of raw milk from a journal ranch( Emene fulani cattle reverse) was carried out using five system viz direct microcopies count nutrient agar count, Blood agar count, Mac conkey agar count( celiforms only) and Acid fast bacilli gaping was done to assay for the presence of the Tubercle bacillus. The bacterial was were as follows direct bitsy counts ranged from9.0 x 105to9.5 x 107 counts on Nutrient agar ranged from9.0 x 104 to8.0 x 105 counts on blood agar ranged from7.0 x 104 to9.8 x10 while counts on Mac country agar ranged between5.0 x 102 to 5. 0 x 10. The Acid fast bacilli gaping didn’t show a single bacillus, an suggestion of excrescence free. The gram gaping result indicate single chains clusters gram positive bacilli and gram negative bacilli which are characteristics of staphylococcus spp streptococcus spp lactobacillus spp and coliform. it’s suggested that milk maids and milk processors should endeavor to wash the udder of the con, sterols their outfit and holders as well as perfecting their particular hygiene during milk collection. these will contribute to the quality of products in our milk diligence as well as the good health of man especially the fulani cattle reverse that drink without pasteurization.

Chapter One

Preface

Background Information

Milk is defined as a stashing of mammary gland of womanish creatures. It’s an exceptionally good source of protein which is of a high natural value in promoting the growth of children( ihekorany and Ngoddy, 1985). Milk is decribed as a good of outstanding interest, which is designed by nature to be complete good for veritably youthful mammals( fox and Cameron, 1980).

Milk contains a wide variety of ingredients and contains utmost of the food factors associated with bacterial nutrition. Milk as a single food is of high nutritive value and is associated with corruption microorganisms. At the time milk leaves the udder of the healthy cow, it contains many bacteria these stem from milk tubes and barrel. During the abusing process, bacteria are generally added from colorful sources. In hand abusing the sources are air the hair of the beast ordure, the milkers outfit similar as buckets, feed and machine, utmost of these environmental factors are less important. still, the abusing outfit may serve as an important source of impurity if it isn’t precisely gutted and sanitized( ihekoronye and Ngoddy, 1985).

After milk has been drawn it’s fleetly cooled to 45 of help pollutants from multiplying. To exclude pathogens from milk the process of pasteurization is applied. This involves operation of heat below the boily point( fraizer and westhoff, 1978).

Statement Of Problem

Mike as a food of high nutritive value is largely associated with microorganisms. As a result of this impurity of raw milk, it not castrated and taken directly or used for product of milk products, causes complaint to man and also contribute to the corruption of milk and milk products.

Aim And Objects Of The Study.

AIM The end of the study is to estimate themicro-flora of raw milk

Objects The Objects Of The Study Are

i) To insulate and identify micro organisms that are contaminate raw milk.

ii) To determine of the milk is tubercle bacilli free

iii) To assay for the presence of coliform as an indicator of pathogens.

thesis

Ho All fresh raw milk from healthy cows are free from marshal impurity both pathogenic and non- pathogenic

H1 All fresh raw milk from healthy cows are net free from microbial impurity both pathogenic and non- pathogenic.

Defense Of The Study

Milk is know to be heavily defiled by microorganisms if net duly handled. thus, there’s a need to estimate consumption or recycling it for milk products

Limitation Of The Study

This work is limited to bacterial organisms present in raw milk.
