Abstract

This present document is the result of the international symposium on dairy safety and hygiene which was held in South Africa from 2 to 5 March 2004. It describe in the first session the role and contribution of International institutions dealing with dairy safety and hygiene in emerging and developed countries. The presentations of the second session are dealing with all the aspects of management practices for good dairy farming practices including animal health, feed supply, farm environment, animal welfare and milk hygiene. The reports of the third session are involved with the microbiological hazards during processing, the role of the rural milk processing technology with good manufacturing practices and the new developments in heating technologies. Food safety measures and management systems in dairy processing was the subject of the session 5 and the three papers presented in that document are essentially attributed to the HACCP concept in small and less developed dairy industry. The session six of the document is a series of examples of hygiene approach in dairy production chain in Southern Africa, Central Africa, India, Pakistan, China and Latin America.
