Popis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of season of collection on the quantity, quality and hygienic properties of the raw milk delivered from one dairy farm. The studied traits were: bulk tank milk yield, chemical composition (fat, protein, lactose, and total solids), freezing point, density, total bacteria count, coliform bacteria count and somatic cell count, during years 2010 and 2011. A total of 727 samples were drawn and analysed in two laboratories, using the standard methods. Average milk production per day per head in the farm was 13.58 kg, obtained from 252 cows. Year of collection had a significant effect on the bulk tank raw milk yield, quality and hygiene, except for freezing point and total bacteria count. The raw milk yield and chemical composition improved (p
