1.2STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
In
Nigeria dairy farmers count their losses from unprotected raw milk
derived from their ranch farms. Studies have also have also shown that
this raw milk form dairy farms are laddened with micro-organisms that
end up spoiling the milk and causing diseases to man that drink them.
Consequently many un Nigerians have lost their lives through drinking
the infected raw milk. There is fear that if this is not checked many
more lives will be lost. The main thrust of this work therefore is to
evaluate and identify bacteria content of raw milk and proffer solutions
to their ameliorations.
1.3PURPOSE OF THE STUDY.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the micro-flora on raw milk. Specifically the work sought to.
i) Identify micro-organisms that contaminate raw milk.
ii) Investigate the relationship between age and effects of drinking contaminated raw milk.
1.4RESEARCH QUESTION
1) What are the microorganisms that contaminate raw milk and their symptoms?
2) What is the relationship between age and effects of drinking contaminated raw milk?
1.5SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
significance of the study, is that it will help the populace to know
the actual microorganism that can contaminate the milk. It also helps to
know the dangers of consumption of unboiled and unprocessed raw milk.
It avails one of health hazards due to contamination with pathogenic
bacteria such as E. coli, S. aureus and S. typhi. Lives lost through
drinking contaminated raw milk would be reduced.
1.6SCOPE OF THE STUDY/DELIMITATION
This work is delimited to the microbial evaluation of raw milk for dairy farm in Emene Fulani cattle Ranch farm in Enugu State.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]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 count ... Continue reading---
