Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the effect of the milking system on the
bacterial count in raw milk.
This experiment was conducted on different milk samples taken from two
different Aleppo systems.
.The results showed significant differences (0.05) in the bacterial count of
manual and automatic milking samples for bacterial types Bacteria
(bacillus, staphylococcus, salmonella, E.coli , Streptococcus and
micrococcus) (25, 16,7,25,0,8,0,25,16,7,16,8) respectively, where the results
showed that the milking mechanism is better than manual milking.
The results also showed significant differences at the mean level (0> 0.05) ).
The acidity of milk in both manual and automatic milking samples was
significantly lower than that in the manual milking machine (0.11 ± 0.01,0.19
± 0.21) respectively. This was in favor of machine milking
