Is Ropy Milk Becoming a More Serious Dairy Trouble

University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois

ABSTRACT

Ropy milk is an old dairy trouble, and outbreaks of it are brought to the attention of the Dairy Department every year. There seems to be some basis for the feeling that this trouble is becoming more common, and this was emphasized the past season by encountering an outbreak which involved more than a hundred farms and presented the general picture of an epidemic. As both the causal organism and the epidemic nature of this outbreak were somewhat unusual, it seemed desirable to bring the matter to the attention of the dairy industry.

In presenting the details of this epidemic, the authors have drawn freely upon the observations and experiences of men in the milk industry, particularly upon certain of these men who are well trained in dairy bacteriology. It would be a pleasure to make more detailed and specific acknowledgment of these contributions were it not for the expressed wish of the commercial firms involved that no mention of their companies or of their men appear in the publication.
