The evaluation of milk quality in selected countries of European Union
POKORNÝ, Martin
The diploma thesis deals with the assessment of qualitative indicators of raw cow's milk supplies within the European Union (EU) and the Czech Republic (CR), de-pending on the year and course of the year. Within the EU average values for the observed period 2016-2020 were found for fat contents of 4.01 ? 0.26% and protein content of 3.39 ? 0.13%; in the CR 3.91 ? 0.11% and 3.46 ? 0.08%. The effect of the year within the EU countries was demonstrated only in terms of protein content (p <0.001). When evaluating the effect of individual months in EU countries, includ-ing the CR, statistically significant differences in fat (p <0.001) and protein (p <0.001) content were demonstrated. In summer, the values of both components in-creased, while in winter they decreased. The results of the evaluation of bulk milk samples purchased in the CR show, depending on the year, that the effect on the total bacteria count (p <0.001), residues of inhibitory substances (p <0.05) and freez-ing point of milk (p <0.001) was also found. The effect of the year was elicited for the total bacteria count (p <0.05) and the somatic cell count (p <0.001). From the point of view of milk sales, the quality of raw milk is a primary goal for the producer and at the same time a decisive factor in the monetization of this important animal commodity.
