Abstract

In rural areas, in some places, there is Practice of consumption of raw goat-milk.  Raw milk contains many microorganisms including yeast, bacteria, viruses, Molds and other pathogens Raw milk consumption may spread diseases.  In view of this, work was undertaken with the objective of Physicochemical and microbiological analysis of raw milk, Five raw goat milk samples were collected from five different villages in Shirala Taluka, Dist- sangali, Maharashtra (India). The raw milk samples of goat were subjected for different tests including platform test, physico-chemical analysis, Ts, SNF, Proteins, fats, pH (6.5) and bacteriological examination, including bacterial SPC and MPN test for coliforms and wherever applicable confirmed and completed tests. The milk samples examined showed average SPC of mesophilic bacteria in the range of, 1.5 × 102 to 6.5 x 102 cfu/mL, respectively the average MPN for coliform was right the figure PH 6.0(acidic) 3.5% sugar, 4.0% , 5.5% fats Ts 7.5%, SNF 1.8% Most of the milk samples were contaminated, although apparently appearing normal in physico-chemical and platform test examination. The consumption of such goat milk seems to be risky for the health, it could be due to the improper methods of milking, unhygienic condition of milking area, unsafe methods of handling, The study concluded that the raw milk should not be directly consumed, it can be consumed only after pasteurization or boiling at home.
