prepping of milk harvesting
- stimulation/pre-stripping (squirt 45-60sec)
- udder clipped and long hairs singed for clean udder
- pre-dip (0.5% iodine)
- single cloth towels to remove pre-dip after 30 seconds
- backflush machine, then machine on

majority of bacteria in milk
psychotropic bacteria
thermoduric bacteria
What zoonotic bacterial agents were the targets for setting pasteurization standards
TB
brucella
coxiella
why do some people obtain unpasteurized/raw milk
taste different
claim - less human pathogens
claim - combats/cures human dz
claim - more nutrients
claim - healthier
risks of unpasteurized/raw milk
not tested as intensely, could have Abx residues, high somatic cell count, mastitis, pathogens
dangerous
outbreaks
PMO regulations
pasteurized milk ordinance
- standards for milk harvest, storage, transport, facilities, equipment specification, cleaning
-inspections/oversight
-testing of milk
-allowable limits for test results
-pasteurization standards
-packaging/handling
mastitis affect on the
cow…
milk…
quality of milk…
safety of milk…
cow health problem
abnormal milk - high SCC, composition change, shelf life and taste
low quality milk
NOT food safety problem, food quality problem
identify clinical mastitis
redness, swelling, heat, pain (local effects of udder)
abnormal milk appearance - clots, thick/thin, color
systemic affects - fever, tachycardia, diarrhea, weakness, death
subclinical mastitis
tests and normal range
