Abstract
Faeces and raw milk from individual cows were examined for the presence of Campylobacter jejuni . After drawing milk, the lactoperoxidase system was inactivated by raising the pH to 7.5. The organism was isolated from 22% of 904 faecal samples and from 4.5% of 904 milk samples. From laboratory experiments it could be concluded that inactivation of the lactoperoxidase system resulted in a better isolation of C. jejuni from raw cows' milk.Keywords
