Milk Quality Distribution of Dairy Cattle at Local Farm in West Java

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the quality of milk (content and chemical composition) at several local farms in West Java province. Milk is a food that has complete nutritional value in balanced proportion. Good quality of milk contains the composition of fat content, total solids, protein, water and contamination level that meet the criteria in the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 3141.1.2011. The milk quality parameters were analyzed by the FT 120 MilkoScanTM (Foss). The milk was collected as much as 50 ml and then dipped in a milkoScan probe. The parameters observed included pH, specific gravity, fat, protein, water and non-fat dry matter (%). The highest fat content found in milk samples from Subang district i.e. 3.62 ± 1.40. Lembang district has the highest lactose concentration among the other sampling regions which is 4.58 ± 0.22. The highest concentration of dry matter content was found in Subang district (12.57 ± 1.87). The highest value at the content of the non-fat dry ingredients in the Subang area was 8.87 ± 0.70. The milk density from Pangalengan and Lembang were 103 2.44 ± 2.51 and 1032.27 ± 1.74 respectively. The concentration of FPD from the Subang district was 0.55 ± 0.06 (highest results and overreach the SNI value). The highest concentration of acidity was in the Subang district with a value of 7.84 ± 1.41.
