Summary

Changes in the microflora and titratable acidity of bovine colostrum stored at 4 and 30 °C were monitored for 21 days. Colostrum did not inhibit the indigenous microflora, and increased titratable acidity may have accounted for the observed decrease in the numbers of Enterobacteriaceae after an initial rapid growth period.
