Current
situation & compilation of commercially available screening
methods for the detection of inhibitors/antibiotic residues
in milk - E-form
Abstract: The presence or absence of residues of antibiotics
and microbial growth inhibitors in milk is checked routinely
and systematically in all dairy countries. A wide range of
screening test kits is available to the dairy sector for this
purpose. This compilation brings together recent information
on what is available commercially, the analytical principle
of the tests, their limits of detection and their use in practice
(e g, on-farm, in the dairy plant and the control laboratory),
together the background of the regulatory requirements concerning
the minimum levels permitted for the residues in milk.

Monitoring
success of paratuberculosis programs Proceedings of 2nd Paratuberculosis
Forum, Minneapolis, August 2009
Paratuberculosis
is an infectious disease that is one of the leading causes
of economic loss to the cattle and small ruminant industries.
The dairy sector (and the beef sector) have studied how to
control and reduce the prevalence and spread of this disease
for many years. The 2nd ParaTB Forum, held in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, USA on 8 August 2009 provided the opportunity to
consider national and regional control and eradication programs
on paratuberculosis in dairy herds with the emphasis on monitoring
the effectiveness ot these programs and analysing the factors
affecting their degree of success.The programs developed in
four different countries, covering a wide variety of dairy
regimes, were reviewed and discussed.

Interlaboratory
Collaborative Study on the Kjeldahl Reference Method for Nitrogen
Determination in Sheep and Goat Milk according to ISO 8968-1/2|IDF
20-1/2
The reference method
for determination of nitrogen in milk (International Standard
ISO 8968-1/2|IDF 20-1/2) was subjected to an international
interlaboratory study to establish its precision characteristics
(reproduci-bility, R, and repeatability, r) when the method
is applied to sheep milk and goat milk. This paper is the
report of the interlaboratory studies.

Collaborative Studies on Reference Method ISO 1211|IDF 1 for
the Determination of the Fat Content in Cow Milk, Sheep Milk
and Goat Milk
The gravimetric
reference method for determination of fat in milk (International
Standard ISO 1211| IDF 1) was subjected to new international
interlaboratory studies to establish its precision characteristics
(reproducibility, R, and repeatability, r). In these new studies
the method was applied to cow whole milk, cow reduced fat
milk and cow skimmed milk and to milk from sheep and goats.
This paper is the report of the interlaboratory studies.

Effects
of Foot-and-Mouth Disease on the Dairy Industry
Position paper
outlining the effects that an outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease
can have on the dairy industry in any country in the world.
In some countries the dairy industries are complex and integrated,
as most of the milk or milk products produced are destined
for international trade, whereas in other countries most of
the milk and milk products produced are for local consumption.
There are three key issues: FMD is highly infectious and spreads
very rapidly through a population of susceptible dairy animals.
An outbreak will result in severe economic consequences to
dairy producers and processors and the country as a whole;
Control measures are aimed at preventing spread to livestock
as FMD is not a public health issue for human consumers of
milk and milk products.

International
Collaborative Study on the Gas-Liquid Chromatographic Method
for the Determination of Milk Fat Purity in Milk and Milk
Products by Analysis of Triglycerides - Draft international
standard ISO 17678|IDF 202 - E-Form
Adulteration with
cheaper fats of milkfat naturally present in pure milk products
is not a new problem but the methods of analysis available
to detect adulteration and determine its extent have only
been sufficiently sensitive to carry out the task satisfactorily
relatively recently. A new draft International standard has
been produced by IDF and ISO (ISO 17678|IDF 202) based on
the gas chromatographic analysis of triglycerides (TG), separated
by carbon number, and the derivation of TG equations from
the data using multivariate statistics. A combination of the
results of TG contents is used for the detection of different
kinds of foreign fat in pure milk products. The new method
also covers recent improvements in the analytical technique.
The international collaborative study conducted to determine
figures for the repeatability (r) and reproducibility (R)
applicable to milkfat in products from a wide range of geographical
origins is described and the newly-determined precision figures
are given for fire TG equations being differently sensitive
for a wide range of adulterant fats.

Dioxin and
PCB Levels in Milk - E-Form
A document based
on replies to IDF questionnaire 3002/SCRCC – Dioxin/PCB levels
in milk. Since the health concerns peaks of the late 90's,
the dioxin and related compounds issue has evolved in most
of the developed countries. Due to its rapid transfer to the
food chain, the key to reduce human exposure to PCDDs/PCDFs
is to reduce the releases into the environment. Through regulation
and voluntary efforts, releases of dioxin to the environment,
and particularly where milk is concerned, have been dramatically
reduced.

Determination
of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content by gas-liquid chromatography
in milk fat from Enriched products - E-Form
Omega-3
and omega-6 fatty acids have been shown to lower the risk
of coronary heart disease. As a result, milk and different
dairy products, including infant formula, supplemented with
or naturally enriched in omega-3 fatty acids, are now available
on the market. A reliable method to evaluate the real content
of these nutrients has been standardised.
A
pilot study was conducted to identify and resolve problems
connected with the determination of omega-3 fatty acids in
milk enriched with marine oil. A full international collaborative
study, including both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, was
carried out establishing the precision (repeatability, r,
and reproducibility, R) of the methods. In this paper, the
results of the pilot study as well as those of the full international
collaborative study, are reported.

Towards
A Reference System For Somatic Cell Counting In Milk - E-Form
Somatic cell count
is a main indicator of udder health in lactating animals.
The direct microscopic method (DMSCC) is the reference method,
and offically recognized as such for the calibration of automated
somatic cell counting equipment. The first paper, the interlaboratory
collaborative study, has established the precision (repeatability,
r, and reproducibility, R) of the reference method. The values
of r and R are independent of the level of somatic cell counts.
The second paper describes the architecture of reference systems,
the status quo of somatic cell counting (SCC) and the concept
for the implementation of a reference system for SCC.
