Los microorganismos patógenos de la leche cruda y la aplicabilidad de buenas prácticas ganaderas (BPG) en predios pecuarios de la cuenca del río Anaime en Colombia
This research characterizes pathogenic flora in raw milk and evaluates Good Livestock Practices in farms, highlighting significant hygiene issues.
Key Points
Raw milk from the Anaime River basin fails to meet hygienic quality standards, and the presence of E. coli is widespread across all farm types.
Statistically significant differences were observed in pathogenic counts, particularly for Staphylococcus in large-scale cattle ranches, indicating higher risks.
Assessment of Good Livestock Practices revealed only 44% of farms implemented biosecurity measures, with varying water access for livestock.
Overall, farms showed shortcomings in hygienic standards, suggesting a need for improved practices to ensure public health.
