A hot climate country like Bangladesh suffers a lot for the deterioration and spoilage issues of raw liquid milk almost around the year. Naturally ,raw milk may carry harmful bacteria as Salmonella , E. coli ,Listeria , Mycobacterium tuberculosis ,etc. which are responsible for various types of food borne diseases. These harmful bacteria can seriously affect the health of anyone who drinks raw milk, or eats foods made from raw milk.
