This study was conducted to determine the total count of bacteria in the raw milk produced in the farm of the College of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, Sudan University of Science and Technology, and accordingly bacterial contamination of the milk and its suitability for consumption. Sixty samples of bulk raw milk were collected, 30 from morning milk and 30 from evening milk and then subjected to laboratory tests .The data obtained was then compared with the different standards given for the total bacteria count in milk. According to the results obtained the produced farm milk is satisfactory and acceptable for consumption with a total bacterial count of an average 650.000 cell per 1ml of milk. The statistical analysis showed no significance variation in the total count of bacteria between morning and evening milk (650.000 ± 14002.3 and 651.000 ± 98443.1) respectively
