Résumé:
The milk for human consumption is the full product of the total and uninterrupted
milking of a female dairy healthy, well fed and not overworked. Contaminated, it may be a
vector of transmission of pathogens to humans and may pose a risk to human health.
Assessing the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of raw milk for consumption or
processing is essential for consumer protection. It is both food and drink of great nutritional
value, and is the traditional food of choice, providing for both humans and mammals a basic
aliment almost complete. Microorganisms are also found in milk, which is considered as an
ideal substrate for their development. The presence of many growth factors within this
aliment will satisfy many of demanding microbial species, which are so difficult to grow in a
less complete media. This study focuses on the evaluation of the microbiological quality of
raw milk, results of a bacteriological analysis of 155 samples of bulk milk are:- A FAMT>
105 CFU/ml was found in 81.2% of our samples; - Fecal coli form bacteria are present within
18.06% of our samples; - Staphylococcus aureus and fecal Streptococci are present in 81.93
and 80.64% respectively.
