| Summary: | In this study were analyzed the reasons why adopting the method of raw milk preservation by the lactoperoxidase system (LP-s) in African countries did not give the expected results, despite the interest in the method. The analysis was based on the assessment of the impact of the Bush Milk project launched by the FAO in 2001 on project evaluation missions, which were carried out in three countries of Western Africa, and on a regional workshop held in Niger in 2004. The main limit to adopting this method is related to the lack of professional organizations in local dairy chains, essential in the application of the LP-s method. |
