Influence of Conditions for Milk Production and Primary Processing on the Quality of Products Sold

Abstract

The article presents the results of research aimed at studying the effect of technological equipment for the production and primary processing of milk on its physical and chemical parameters. In terms of bacterial contamination, better milk was obtained from a group of cows at Сommercial dairy farm (CDF) No. 7, where fine filter was used. The milk corresponded to the “Extra” grade. When cows were milked in the milking parlor at CDF No. 7, this indicator was 11.0 thousand CFU/cm3 lower (at P<0.05) compared to CDF No. 5. As a result, 74.5% of milk produced at CDF No. 5 and 84.1% of milk produced at CDF No. 7 was sold as the “Extra” grade.
