The study was conducted to examine physical properties of goat meat to evaluate the relationship between goat meat in different age groups, group A ( 11 m). In the first step physicochemical characteristics of goat meat in respect of pH, Water Holding Capacity (WHC), Cooking Loss (CL) and Drip Loss (DL) were determined. A total of 21 goat meat samples were collected equally from three age groups each containing 7 samples. The mean pH value of goat meat of group A, B, and C (6.28, 6.30 and 6.34% respectively) mean WHC (61.77, 63.36 and 63.36% respectively) were not significantly different (p>0.05) from each other. WHC of goat meat group B (63.36±028%) and group C (63.36±0.21%) were very similar and significantly (p 11 m of age : 33.40±1.13 and 4.06±0.14%, respectively). The result concludes the meat of goat slaughtered in advanced age may have an extensive advantage to reduce qualitative and quantitative losses of end products and by products with relation to export.

3 Abstract: The research consist of chemical analysis of the goat meat to investigate the relationship between goat meat in different age groups, group A ( 11 m). Chemical characteristics of goat meat in respect of moisture, protein, fat and ash contents were determined of goat meat processed by butchers under local marketing conditions were investigated during 2008-9. Moisture content of goat meat group A was higher (78.30±0.48%) followed by group B (75.70±0.50%) and group C (73.8±0.061%). Protein, fat, ash content in meat of group A was lowered (15.31±0.68, 1.77±0.24 and 1.20±0.06%, respectively) and increase with advance slaughter age (Group B; 18.43±0.80, 2.71±0.18 and 1.31±0.08% and Group C; 20.30±0.91, 3.07±0.17 and 1.63±0.07. The results conclude the meat of goa t slaughtered in advanced age may have an extensive advantage to reduce qualitative and quantitative losses of end products and variation in meat of different age groups animal were found.

3 Abstract: The research consist of the goat meat to investigate the relationship between goat meat in different age groups, group A ( 11 m). The level of contamination of goat meat processed by butchers under local marketing conditions was investigated during 2008-9. A total of 21 goat meat samples were collected equally from three age groups each containing 7 samples Aerobic plate count, Coliform and yeasts and moulds counts enumerated from meat of group A (3.8 x 10 ±2.3 x 10 , 1.8 x 10 ±1.0 5 4 5

Study was carried out to examine the microbiological quality of Infant formula milk powder. Total 60 of dried milk powders, 20 each of Group A (1-6), B (7-12) and C (13-18 months). Infant formula milk powders were purchased from Hyderabad, Sindh and evaluated for microbiological examination, like Total Viable Count (TVC), Enterobacteriaceae Count (EbC) and Yeasts and Moulds Count (YMC). Total viable count, (3.4x10 ±5.0x10 cfu/g) were significantly higher than thermoduric count, (

The present study was conducted to examine the microbiological quality of commercial milk powders. A total of 30 dried milk powders, 10 each of Skim Milk Powder (SMP), Semi Skim Milk Powder (SSMP) and Full Cream Milk Powder (FCMP) purchased from market of Hyderabad, Sindh were evaluated for microbiological quality characteristics, like Total Viable Count (TVC), thermoduric count and Enterobacteraceae Count (EbC). Total viable count, (6.1 x 10 ±7.2 x 10 cfu/g) and Enterobacteraceae count, 3 2

In present study, 40 livestock vaccines were tested for bacterial contaminants. Four different bacterial species were identified from the vaccine samples. The species were Escherichia coli, Pasteurella multocida, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis. Of the 40 livestock vaccines studied, 1 Haemorrhagi c septicaemia (H.S) and 2 Anthrax vaccines were found positive for bacterial contaminants, possessing batch numbers 057, 079 and 010 respectively, while 37 samples were observed without any bacterial growth. The percentage prevalence of positive vaccine samples was recorded as 7.5%. The pure contamination was recorded in 1 (33.33%) Anthrax vaccine sample with batch number 079, while 2 (66.67%) samples, 1 H.S and 1 Ant hrax with batch numbers 057 and 010 respectively were recorded for mixed bacterial species. During investigating biochemical properties, it was observed that Escherichia coli show the positive reaction to catalase, and negative to oxidase, urease and indole. While Pasteurella multocida, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis were positive to catalase and oxidase, while negative to urease and methyl red.

The present study was carried out to enumerate the thermoduric and thermophilic spores in commercial repacked milk powder. A total of 30 dried milk powders, 10 each of Skim Milk Powder (SMP), Semi Skim Milk Powder (SSMP) and Full Cream Milk Powder (FCMP) purchased from market of Hyderabad, Sindh were evaluated for microbiological quality characteristics of Thermoduric Count (TDC) and Thermophilic Spore Count (TPSC). Thermoduric count, (5.15×10 ±2.6×10 cfu/g) was significantly (p
