title: [Estimation of the sanitary and microbiological indices of stored and bacteriophaged milk].
abstract: The paper gives data on the microbiological study of raw milk delivered by various suppliers to a reprocessor. More than 57.3% of the farms are shown to deliver abnormal milk of poor and very poor sanitary quality. The content of lactobacilli can be indirectly judged from the titer and presence of lactophages, the quantity of the latter may serve as an index of the sanitary state of raw milk. Milk bactocentrifugation considerably reduce the quantity of bacteria and their spores, facilitating a longer preservation of milk organoleptic properties.
