Seasonal variations in some quality parameters of milk produced in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran

“…Coherently, the higher TMC and SCC in raw milk samples collected in summer as described here are similar to the data reported in Sudan (Salman & Elnasri, 2011) and Ethiopia (Tassew & Seifu, 2011). In addition, the microbiological quality of raw milk depends on the proper management of dairy herds, hygienic milking of healthy dairy cows and immediate cooling of milk in the farm (Camargo et al, 2014). Since in the present study the sampling procedures were conducted in collection centers, it remains to be determined to what extent these farm-related factors could have contributed for increasing the TMC in the raw milk samples evaluated.…”
