Microbial evaluation of twenty samples of raw milk from a dairy farm (Emene Fulani cattle farm Enugu State). was carried out using five method: direct microscopic count nutrient agar count, Blood agar count, MacConkey agar count (Coliforms only) and Acid fast bacilli staining was done to assay for the presence of the Tubercle bacillus. The bacterial was were as follows: direct microscopic counts ranged from 9.0x 105 to 9.5 x 107 counts on Nutrient agar ranged from 9.0 x 104 to 8.0x 105 counts on blood agar ranged from 7.0x 104 to 9.8x10 while counts on MacConkey agar ranged between 5.0x 102 to 5.0 x 101. The Acid fast bacilli staining did not show a single bacillus, an indication of tubercle free. The gram staining result indicate single chains clusters gram positive bacilli and gram negative bacilli which are characteristics of Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus spp lactobacillus sppand coliform. It is suggested that milk maids and milk processors should endeavor to wash the udder of the cow, sterile their equipment and containers as well as improving their personal hygiene during milk collection. these will contribute to the quality of products in our milk industries as well as the good health of man especially the Fulani cattle rearers that drink without pasteurization.
