Out of these 6 animals were milked by machine and others were milked by hand milking. The average of SPC and coliform count per ml of unwashed and washed udder milk samples at Pune farm were 261x10³; 36.4x10³ and 38.0x10²; 5.5x10², respectively. The average SPC and coliform counts of unwashed and washed udder milk samples at Kolhapur farm were 208x10³; 21.3x10³ and 32.4x10²; 3.1x10² c.f.u. per ml, respectively. Washing of udder has shown decreasing trend of SPC and coliform counts of raw milk. The SPC and coliform counts of raw milk obtained from unwashed udder were significantly (<0.01) higher than washing of udder. The average SPC of raw milk obtained by hand milking and machine milking at Pune farm were 27.5x10³ and 3.1x10³ c.f.u. per ml while at Kolhapur farm were 21.5x10³ and 2.7x10³ c.f.u. per ml, respectively. 收起
