INDICATORS OF RAW MILK QUALITY IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF COLOMBIA
Journal Title: Revista MVZ Cordoba - Year 2006, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective. To determine milks raw quality on two production systems in different regions of Colombia. Materials and methods. A retrospective database analysis was carried out of eight milk processing plants to determine the milk quality in different production systems. This analysis included physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters of raw milk in 1.159 farms located in specialized dairy and of double purpose systems of production. Results. The system of double purpose is located in the low tropic (<1.2000 m.s.n.m), in this system the biggest protein levels, fat, non fatty solids and total solids were found; likewise very extreme values were observed in the same region for the different studied variables. Conclusions. It was observed extremely values in the same region. This allowed to establish farms with variable of good practices of production. Likewise it becomes also necessary to elevate the levels of the different chemical components of the milk, particularly in the specialized system and to improve the bacteriological quality; all this can be achieved by means of the implementation of a good cattle program practices.
