The aim of this study was to check out the cattle milk quality in district Muzaffargarh, Pakistan by biochemical tests, the standard plate counting and direct microscopic counting. 200 samples of cattle milk were obtained from different areas of district Muzaffargarh. Different parameters were chosen to check the cattle milk quality through biochemical tests, the standard plate counting and direct microscopic counting. It was concluded that alcohol perception and clot on boiling gave 34% and 24.5% positives results. On the other hand in organoleptic test, smell, appearance, colour, consistency and temperature gave 7%, 14.5%, 23%, 38% and 20% positive results. S.aureus, E.coli, B.cereus, K.pneumoniea and S.typhi generated the bar at 8%, 14%, 17%, 21% and 5% positive results respectively. It was also concluded that standard plate counting is much precise method as compared to the direct microscopic counting method for determining the microbiological quality standards for cattle’s milk in Pakistan.
