Unasturized milk may harbour a host of disease-causing organisms, such as the bacteria campylobacter, escherichia, listeria, salmonella, yersinia, and brucella. Common symptoms of foodborne illness from many of these types of bacteria include diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, headache, vomiting, and exhaustion.

Pasteurization kills microbes that enable bacteria to grow. This is achieved by the use of heat (below the boiling point) for a specified period of time and then cooling it down rapidly afterward.

No, milk from a dairy farm is sent to market raw but chilled. The milk is taken to a processing plant which will pasteurize, separate and package the milk and milk products. However, some dairy farms will pasteurize unsaleable milk (milk from cows that cannot be sent to market, such as that from cows who have recently received antibiotics or cows that just calved) to feed to their calves. Pasteurizing this milk makes it safer to feed to the calves and saves the farmer money by reducing the need to buy milk replacer.
