dc.description.abstractThe Jammu region of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir is known for its bovine rearing and milk production. Aflatoxin M1 is one of the most widely known contaminants in milk. It is known for its health hazards as well it has a binding affinity for casein in milk and is quite stable during milk cold storage. The present study was carried out with the objective to estimate the prevalence of AFM1 in pooled milk samples of commercial and household dairy establishments across four tehsils of Jammu and analyse the potential risk factors associated with Aflatoxin M1 in raw milk. A total of 62 pooled milk samples (662 milching animals) were analysed using a commercial ELISA kit, out of which 47 samples (75.8%) were above EC-MPL. However, all samples were detected below FSSAI-MPL. The mean concentration of Aflatoxin M1 was detected as 0.196 µg/L in Bishnah > 0.153 µg/L in Akhnoor > 0.140 µg/L in Jammu > 0.116 µg/L in R.S. Pura from 4 tehsils of Jammu. The Aflatoxin M1 detected concentration percentage was found highest in the Akhnoor and Bishnah tehsils of Jammu. The Risk analysis of associated factors with Aflatoxin M1 concentration found that large farms (100%), higher milk yield (81%; O.R. of 2.29), intensive farming (78%; O.R. of 2.1), left-over fruits and vegetables incorporated in animal feed (86%; O.R. of 3.53), cleanliness status at the farm (86%; O.R. of 2.71) and feed storage status (91%; O.R. of 4.81) to be at greater risk for occurrence of aflatoxin M1 in raw milk. As per the FSSAI standard limit for AFM1 in milk, all samples collected from the dairy farms of Jammu were found to be below the limits and safe for consumers.en_US
