The investigation of mammary health and milking hygiene procedures, bulk tank milk somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial counts, and detecting deficiencies and mistakes following the comparisons of results in Tekirdag province were aimed. The bulk tank milk samples were collected from 50 family farms. 150 mL of sterile milk samples were taken from milk tanks. Somatic cell counts and total viable bacterial counts were analyzed. On the milk sampling day, a questionnaire was filled out to farm personal or owner to evaluate mastitis control programs applied in the farms. In the bulk tank milk samples, mean SCC was found 560204.08 (±12399.769) cells/mL, and mean total viable bacterial count were found 1,796,718.36 (±156,573.31) CFU/mL. After survey and laboratory analyzes, it was detected that premilking cleaning and drying, teat-dipping, strip before milking, dry-cow management and mastitis control program procedures were using hardly ever. In conclusion, SCC and total bacterial count were higher than acceptable values due to the insufficient practice of mastitis control programs in the small and middle family farms in Tekirdag province. It was considered that some education seminars and/or contact meetings about this issue should be planned to increase mammary health status and milk quality.
