Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the hygienic quality by determining the presence of predominant pathogenic microbial contaminants (contagious or environment) contained in unpasteurized milk samples collected from mammalians (cow, buffalo, goat). Methods: Raw milk samples were collected in June, 2023 from different area of District Bareilly, Town Nawabganj and cultured on the specific media plates according to the manufacture instructions to observe pathogenic microbial flora and confirm it with ravelment biochemical tests to specify bacterial specie. Results: Milk samples analyzed on Mac - Conkey, MSA, Nutrient media were found contaminated mostly with coliform, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris, Streptococcus and Enterobacter aerogenes. Conclusion: Microbial contamination of milk is mainly accredited to the scrupulous unhygienic measures during processing of milk exhibiting a wide array of hazardous impacts on human health.
