One major interest was the milk quality. Stepwise, the efforts followed cow milk structural development in organizing the testing laboratory, the definition of quality in composition (fat, protein, lactose, total solids), in Hygienic (Total Bacteria Count, Somatic Cell Count, antibiotics residues and Aflatoxin M1 contamination), adulteration with water and detection of milk species. EU, by Decision 2002/657/EC, defined the rules for the Directive 96/23/EC, enumerated the testing methods, the demands in sampling procedures, the minimum limits of performance, the quality control (ISO 17025) and the interpretation of results. The equivalency of results from different laboratories, through ISO 17025, demanded the application of ISO analytical standards. In a period of 5 years these standards have been reformed in order to cover the needs of sheep and goat milk analysis. Novel development in analytical instrumental methods, like FTIR interferometer working with mid-Infrared region of the spectrum from 3-10 µm corresponding to 1000-5000 cm-1, gives opportunities of collecting data by making measurements for new parameters in complex dairy products, like Urea in milk, FFA profile, casein, pH, etc. Flow Cytometry for Individual Bacteria Count and Somatic Cells Count is opening the road for applications on testing for raw milk in hygienic control of the sheep and goat dairy sector. New developed screening methods are applied to give rapid results for antibiotics or aflatoxin M1 residues. Milk quality in the Central Testing Laboratory of today, is upgraded and promoted through rapid, trustful and traceable systems of LIMS in payments and herd management. Milk species mixtures can today be analysed in milk and dairy products with screening and reference methods. PDO products need today testιng methods for authenticity of animals' breed and geographical region of production.
