Abstract "The microbiological quality of buffalo milk was found to be directly related to economic, social and educational status of the milk producers. Amongst three groups of farmers, the best quality of buffalo milk was produced by farmers of large holdings with general quality from highly educated (graduate and above) followed by farmers of small holdings, educated upto intermediate and other backward classes (OBC) whereas, poorest quality of milk was obtained from agriculture labourers, illiterate and scheduled caste farmers."
