Publication Accès libre Effect of recycled manure solids as bedding on bulk tank milk and implications for cheese microbiological quality(American Dairy Science Association, 2019-10-30) Roy, Denis; Gagnon, Mérilie; Fréchette, Annie; Hamelin, Laurie; Dufour, SimonThe dairy farm environment influences the raw milk microbiota and consequently affects milk processing. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate farm management practices such as the bedding materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of recycled manure sol-ids (RMS) as bedding material on bulk tank milk and microbiological implications for cheese quality. Bulk tank samples were collected from 84 dairy farms using RMS or straw bedding. The use of RMS did not influ-ence thermophilic and mesophilic aerobic viable counts from spores. However, straw-milk samples gave higher values for mesophilic anaerobic spore-forming bacteria (0.44 log cfu/mL) than RMS-milk samples (0.17 log cfu/mL). The presence of thermoresistant lactic acid bacteria was not increased in milk from farms using RMS. Nevertheless, taxonomic profiles of thermoresis-tant bacteria isolated were different between the 2 types of milk. More Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcusspp. were identified in RMS-milk samples. Thermore-sistant enterococci and streptococci could easily end up in cheese. Therefore, milk proteolytic activities of these isolates were tested. Neither Streptococcus spp. nor Enterococcus faecium isolates exhibited proteolytic ac-tivities, whereas 53% of E. faecalis showed some. Also, only 1 vancomycin-resistant enterococcus was detected. Survival of selected RMS-milk samples isolates (3 E. faecalis and 1 Streptococcus thermophilus) was evalu-ated during a model Cheddar cheese manufacture. Al-though those strains survived well, they did not modify the acidification curve of milk. However, they might cause organoleptic defects during cheese maturing.
