Microbiological Surveillance of Raw Milk
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reduced analysis time compared to culture methods and may be a useful tool for microbiological testing on farm, according to researchers in Italy. The PCR method was more sensitive than culture methods in detecting...

Sale of Raw Milk in Northern Italy: Food Safety Implications and Comparison of Analytical Methods for Detecting Foodborne Pathogens
All pathogens investigated were detected in raw milk sold from vending machines, according to new research from Italy. They found that raw milk is a significant source of exposure Mycobacterium avium subsp. and that the official culture method...

Occurrence and Characteristics of ESBL–Producing Enterobacteriaceae in Animals, Minced Meat and Raw Milk
Researchers based in Switzerland found relatively high rates of extended–spectrum beta–lactamase (ESBL) producers in pigs, cattle, sheep and chickens and they expressed concern about the high genetic diversity among these isolates, which they said...

Changes in Composition of Colostrum of Egyptian Buffaloes and Holstein Cows
Researchers in Egypt report what they describe as dramatic changes in the composition of buffalo colostrum over the first five days after calving, as with cow’s colostrum, and the composition of both colostrums approached that of normal milk by the...

Reducing Residues in Livestock Products
"As far as I am concerned, drug residues in animal products is a black and white issue," said Dr Mike Apley, Professor at Kansas College of Veterinary Medicine, when addressing the Dairy Producer Forum at the NCBA Trade Show and Convention earlier this...

Quality & Safety Of East Africa's Milk & Dairy Products
Training and certification schemes for small-scale sellers of milk and dairy products in Eastern Africa can lead to better milk quality and help traders benefit from the growing demand for value-added dairy products.

Effective Cleaning & Disinfection On The Dairy Farm
Cleaning and disinfecting is imperative to maintain the well being and health of high producing animals, such as dairy cows. This is especially the case in intensive modern housing where high density and high productivity increases the infection pressure....

A Dairy Farm's Footprint
Dairy farming systems impact the environment, animal well-being, and the nutritional quality and safety of milk and dairy products in many ways. This report by The Organic Centre evaluates the impacts of conventional and organic farming systems.

World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates - November 2010
Beef exports will continue to increase, and imports fall, whilst cattle prices rise due to strong demand. Dairy cow numbers continue to fall, this along with increasing feed prices, puts pressure on milk production forecasts, according to the latest USDA...
