This study was conducted to determine the effect of hygienic practices on the microbial quality of milk in kolazhy gramapanchayat of thrissur district. A sample size consisting of 6 dairy farms(farm 1, farm 2, farm 3, farm 4,farm 5,farm 6) were selected from 3 dairy cooperatives(Kottekkad, Thiroor ,Attore) of kolazhy grama panchayat for the study and a total of about 84 samples were aspectically taken and tested for microbial analysis for a study period of about 50 days.On analysis, it was revealed that hygienic practices had an impact on the microbial quality of the milk. It was found that about 50% of the farms (farm 1,farm 2,farm 6) adopted the hygienic practices whereas 33% of the farms(farm 3,farm 4) didn’t adopt the hygienic practices and 17% of the farms partially adopted the hygienic practices.It was also found that farms which adopted and partially adopted the hygienic practices had their microbial counts “after” significantly lower than their “before” counts whereas non adoptive farms had their after counts greater than their before counts.Hence, adoption of hygienic practices in dairy farms also have an impact on the microbial quality of milk produced in the dairy farm.
