Bacterial spores in silage and raw milk
Abstract
Spore-forming bacteria can survive food-processing treatments. In the dairy industry, Bacillus and Clostridium species determine the shelf-life of a variety of heat-treated milk products, mainly if the level of post-process contamination is low. In order to minimize problems caused by bacterial spores in foods and food production processes a chain management approach, from raw materials, ingredients and environmental sources to final product storage conditions, is most effective. Silage is considered to be a significant source of contamination of raw milk with spores. PCR-RAPD fingerprinting and heat resistance studies of populations of aerobic spore-formers isolated from grass and maize silage and from raw milk confirmed this assumption. Prevention of outgrowth of aerobic spores in silage will contribute to reduction of the total spore load of raw milk. Therefore, it is important that the silage fermentation process is controlled. Application of cultures of lactic acid bacteria or chemical additives can aid silage fermentation and improve aerobic stability.

In the citing paper
“As known well, the quality of silage depends on the competition between different microorganisms [56].”
In the citing paper
“Unlike sweet sorghum, Napier grass silage had a high number of aerobic bacteria, mould and yeasts, according to the occurrence of a number of undesirable microorganisms at low levels in fresh plant materials, leading to their probable growth during the storage of silage, henceto anaerobic or aerobic spoilage [56].”

“Spores are unaffected by their passage through the gastrointestinal tract of the cow and are excreted in the feces (TE GIFFEL et al., 2002), which may be transferred to the milk via fecal contamination of the udder, making silage an important source of spores in milk (COOK; SANDEMAN, 2000).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
