Abstract: More than 200 known diseases are transmitted through food. The causes of foodborne illness include viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals, prions, and the symptoms of foodborne illness range from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening neurologic, hepatic and renal syndromes.

Milk borne pathogens caused serious diseases in the human which may be related to the raw milk, improper pasteurization of milk and milk products. Some biological tools are developed for the measuring of the contamination by the pathogens. Such species like Listeria, Salmonella and Campylobacter species. Such factors which involved in the contamination catalogue between the area where impermanent cattle confinement, low milk production, low milking machine cleaning frequency, and milk storage area.
