The 7th IDF International Symposium on Sheep, Goat and other non-Cow Milk will take place in Limassol, Cyprus, on 23-25 March 2015 - Save the date!

The overall objective of the Symposium is to provide a renewed vision of knowledge on husbandry and milk production, technology, chemistry, physics, microbiology and nutrition and to highlight the significance of markets and appropriate policies as they have evolved since 2011.

The event is addressed to scientists and other professionals involved in the sheep, goat and other non-cow dairy sectors, including milk producers, dairy processing industry, trade associations, academia, research institutes and governments. The Symposium will be a platform for exchange of knowledge and information among international experts in the field.

Scientific Symposium - Saturday 17 May 2014  IDF/ISO Analytical Week, Berlin, Germany

After the last two symposia, dealing with Safeguarding Dairy Food Safety and the Role of Standardization including case studies of trade issues, this year's symposium is focused on the Contribution of Analytics to Safeguard our Dairy Cows' Health and Healthy Dairy Products.

The intention is that IDF/ISO Analytical Week together with ICAR Biennial Congress and INTERBULL are functioning as a melting pot in the background. These combined events attract specialists in the field of Analytics as well as experts in “digesting” and applying data to enhance information quality and information density for dairy herd managers in the frame of a health oriented DHI system, which should lead to fruitful interdisciplinary discussions – to the benefit of the dairy farmers.

What can Analytics Contribute to Healthy Cows and Healthy Dairy Products?

Milk and milk products — Detection of Enterobacter sakazakii is withdrawn and replaced by the horizontal standard ISO 22964 Microbiology of the food chain -- Horizontal method for the detection of Cronobacter spp. The scope of the IDF/ISO method has been extended to Cronobacter spp. detection in food products for humans and feeding animals and environmental samples and the title changed accordingly;

Cheese - Determination of propionic acid level by chromatography - Part 1: Method by ion exchange chromatography

Cheese - Determination of propionic acid level by chromatography - Part 1: Method by gas chromatography

Milk and Milk products – Detection of Salmonella  is now replaced with ISO 6579 Microbiology of the food chain -- Horizontal method for the detection, enumeration and serotyping of Salmonella -- Part 1: Detection of Salmonella spp. This document describes a horizontal method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in food (including milk and milk products, originally described in ISO 6785), in animal feed, in animal faeces, and in environmental samples from the primary production stage.
