Within the study made, there were tested samples of fresh caw milk in an area in Sălaj County. The test was made with the help of Somacount equipment produced by Bentley–USA.
The presence and NCS in milk represents a highly important problem under the aspect of public health, animal welfare and also regarding the juridical aspect. Out of 243 samples of milk examined, a number of 85 samples (34.95%) contained less than 1 NCS/ml and 87 samples (35.80%) contained between 101000–4NCS/ml. So 70.78% of the samples were within the legislative frame of EU, the rest of 29.20% overcoming the allowed limits.
The arithmetic average was of 437877/ml, a little increased compared to the data in the scientific literature, 412000NCS/ml-Lombardia 316000NCS/ml-SUA but the heterogeneity of the caws, the differences in the maintaining system, milking, feeding, hygiene in the provenience area of milk, do not allow an objective comparison.
The correlation between the results of the exam for NCS and the results of CMT is not significant, statistically being very reduced, of course on one hand due to the subjective way to appreciate the results CMT. The laboratory equipment Somacount 150 is extremely rapid and precise in determinations, fable, easy to manipulate and to be maintained.
