Buffalo, cow, sheep and goat raw milk samples (30 each) were examined for Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV).
The mean titer value was 103 ±0.02, 103 ± 0.01, 104 ± 0.03 and 103 ± 0.10 PFU/ml, respectively. Thermal processing of
milk at 50°C for 10 min, long-time pasteurization at 63°C for 30 min, short-time pasteurization 72°C for 15 s, double set
pasteurization at 72°C for 30 s, ultra-heat treatment (UHT) at 135°C for 1 s and sterilization at 121°C for 15 min were applied.
