Variation in Raw Milk Microbiota Throughout 12 Months and the Impact of Weather Conditions

Abstract Milk microbiota has a great influence on the safety and quality of dairy products. However, few studies have investigated the variations of bacterial composition in raw milk. In this study, raw milk samples were collected in 12 successive months, and their bacterial compositions were determ...
