  • Title: Selection of tests for monitoring the bacteriological quality of refrigerated raw milk supplies.
    Author: Senyk GF, Goodall C, Kozlowski SM, Bandler DK.
    Journal: J Dairy Sci; 1988 Mar; 71(3):613-9. PubMed ID: 3286697.
    Abstract:
    Raw milk samples were collected from 10 producer bulk tanks. Samples were then subdivided so that milks were subsequently stored at 1.7, 4.4, 7.2, and 10.0 degrees C for 24 and 48 h. After storage, samples were analyzed by seven plating methods: standard plate count, psychrotrophic bacterial count, rapid psychrotrophic count, preliminary incubation count, mesophilic plate count, laboratory pasteurized count, and coliform count by violet red bile agar technique. Impedance protocols on a Bactometer Model 123 for total count, psychrotrophic count, mesophilic count, and coliform count were also used to evaluate the bacteriological quality of the milks. Bacterial counts and impedance detection times were analyzed using nonparametric statistics. Impedance protocols for total count and psychrotrophic count were the best indicators of bacteriological quality. Preliminary incubation count was the best of the plating methods. The laboratory pasteurized count performed poorly. Impedance measurements provided information in the shortest time.
