6th International Symposium on the Milking of Small Ruminants, Athens, Yunanistan, 26 Eylül - 01 Ekim 1998, ss.531-534
The dairy industry in Turkey is mainly based on cow's milk. However, many small-sized dairy plants which operate especially during the summer season have a great demand for milk of small ruminants to be used alone or as part of a mixture for making cheese and yoghurt. Ewe's and goat's milk are generally of poor quality due to non-hygienic milking conditions. Milking of goats and ewes is done by hand once a day and milk is kept without cooling at farms until transported to dairies; therefore, maintaining the quality of goat's and ewe's milk is an important factor regarding the quality of the final product. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the preservative effect of the lactoperoxidase system (LP-system) on keeping microbial quality of raw ewe's and goat's milk stored at ambient temperature or above.
