Milk have a wide range of microflora as it contains water, protein, lactose, vitamins and minerals.
But milk inside the udder remains in sterile condition and get contaminated when comes in contact with outer environment, or sometimes from inflected animal.
So after milking, milk should be stored below 4 degree C, to avoid further microbial growth.
