-0.537(CI=-0.535-0.540), Protein 3.12(CI=3.08), Casein 2.42(C1=2.37-2.48), Total Bacterial Count 1.76x106(1.02x106
2.49x :L06). The positive results of Alcohol 62 test were 4.2% and for Alcohol 72 test were 29.2% of the samples. The clotting time was after 2.5 hours and the appearance of the clot was mildly firm. According to the result the control of hygienic condition in milk production chain is essential.
