This study evaluated the efficacy of on-farm commercial pasteurization units and their effectiveness in destroying Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, Salmonella spp, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus in saleable bulk-tank milk inoculated with both a low inoculum level (between -102 and 103 CFU/ml) and a higher inoculum (between -105 and 106 CFU/ml).
