Description

The aim of our research was to determine the quality of raw cow’s milk in three regions of Kosova through total bacteria count (TBC), somatic cell count (SCC) and physico-chemical parameters. A total of 120 samples were collected from farms during the period January – June 2019. Microbiological evaluation was conducted based on the definition of total bacterial count (TBC) and somatic cell count (SCC). Also, physico-chemical parameters tested include fat, protein, lactose, Solid Non Fat (SNF), total solids content (TS), freezing point depression (FPD), density and acidity oSH. The obtained results showed that TBC count was: in Peja Region 21/120, in Gjakova region 61/120 and in Prizreni region 41/120 samples belonged to the III class. The SCC count was: in Peja region 54/120, in Gjakova region 45/120 and in Prizreni region 62/120 samples belonged to the III class. In positive samples were also found changes of the physical-chemical parameters.
