Abstract
Comparison of Microbiological Quality Between Organic and Conventional Goat Milk: A Study Case in Bogor, Indonesia
Highlights
Organic milk is defined as milk that free of hazardous materials, originating from livestock based on environmental sustainability and animal welfare
There was no difference in bacteria population (TPC,S. aureus, Enterobacteriaceae and coliform) between organic and conventional goat milk (Table 1)
The number of S. aureus and coliform in organic goat milk were higher than conventional goat milk namely 3.51 and 3.69 log cfu/ml, respectively, and they exceed both SNI and EEC maximum standard.The total plate count (TPC) and Enterobacteriaceae were positively correlated with coliform count in organic goat milk (P
Summary
Organic milk is defined as milk that free of hazardous materials, originating from livestock based on environmental sustainability and animal welfare. It is produced in organic farms that apply minimum standards to ensure livestock well-being (Sundrum, 2001; Schwendel et al, 2015). Organic milk products are free from antibiotics, hormones, synthetic chemicals, and genetic modification; and they should be beneficial for human health (Schwendel et al, 2015). Risk of parasitic contamination in dairy products from organic farms is higher than those from conventional farms (Sundrum, 2001) due to the typical grazing system. Organic milk from cows was contaminated with a number of microbes such as coliform bacteria, S. aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes and Proteus vulgaris (Iqbal et al, 2016). Protozoa species such as Toxoplasma gondii as found in raw goatmilk, and it had been studied in the United States, Brazil, Greeceand Indonesia
