Abstract
The  objective  of  the  study  was  to analyze  the  relationship  of  Total  bacterial  Count, Total  cell  Count  and  Total  Psychrotrophic  Count  as  an  indicator  of  each  microbiological  quality  of  milk  sample. A total  of  50  raw  milk  samples (Set1, Set2, Set3) were collected from Mannargudi, Thiruvarur (DT),Total  Coliforms  Counts  are 420 cfu/ml  in  Set Ι (Raw Milk),100cfu/ml in  Set ΙΙ (Pasteurized  Milk), 320cfu/ml in Set ΙΙΙ (Packet Milk). Followed by Total bacterial Counts are 520cfu/ml (Set 1 milk), 120cfu/ml in (Set 2 Milk) and 326cfu/ml (Set3 milk). Psychrotrophic bacteria Counts are 400cfu/ml (Set 1 milk), 80cfu/ml (Set 2 milk) and 200cfu/ml (Set 3 milk), are also done by the samples. Identified Microorganisms are (Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and E. coli). Finally all the Counts are high in Set1 that is raw Milk samples.

Key words: Raw Milk, Packet Milk, Psychrotrophic bacteria, Total bacterial count, Total Coliforms.
