The study is based on the cost of milk and marketing margins in dairy farms in Jordan and estimated cost function. This study is based on a cross section data from 33 dairy farms. In the study it was determined that the cost of raw milk production in dairy farms is 0.43 JD/ Kg. and the most important cost factors are feed cost, depreciation contributing 64%, 19%, respectively of total production cost. It was found that marketing margins of milk were 77%, econometric estimation of raw milk function using different forms showed that the linear model is superior to the other forms. The elasticity of the estimated cost function is found to be 0.20.

Three hundreds and thirty samples of raw milk and some of the Syrian dairy products collected during 2002-2003 from different areas of Syria, and were used to detect the presecne of Listeria in these products. Results indicated that mainly L. mono cytogenes and to a lesser degree L.innocua and L.ivanovii were found in these products. The perecentage of violating of the Syrian standards was 4 % in raw milk, 0.0% in pasteurized milk, 2% in white cheese, 0.5% in shinglish and 0.0% in ice cream. And it has been deterhmined the identity of the isolated bacterial species of Listeria from the above-mentioned products, where L. monocytogenes was dominant, and to a lesser estent were L. innocua and L. ivanovii.
A total of 294 samples of raw-unpasteurized bovine milk and variety of dairy products (hard cheese, sweet cheese, cream cheese and cream), were collected from local markets in Lattakia city as well as 44 samples of used water (clear potable water collected before used in cheese preparing processes) and preserving water (turbid water collected from hard cheese preserving tanks). All samples were analyzed for E.coli O157: H7 detection.
The design of milking spaces, which are called Mahlab, is considered as the main factor for many experts in agricultural engineering and animal production. The main aim is to determine the optimum parlour milking with highest production and little stress, whereas the parlour milking is considered as the most important design factor in the barn because it is Influences getting the milk in cattle productivity farms. According to the importance of milk production, which effects on the local production and economy, this paper treats with the most effective factors in the design of parlour milking in cattle farms, in order to be suitable for dairy cattle production by considering its numbers, its movement and its suitable space. So, this reflects its impacts on the level of production, in addition it shows the most important type of parlour milking in the world that reflects the advantages and disadvantages that determine the type and size of required parlour milking and its location and relationship with the cattle barn.
The research aimed at assessing marketing efficiency of dairy products in Jordan and Syria, to assess the linear regression function. The results indicate that the proportion of total marketing costs for Syrian milk products less than 1%, which is less than the costs of marketing products of Jordan, which was estimated at 5%. The marketing margin in Jordan and Syria profit. And marketing efficiency index (95%, 99%) of Jordan and Syria, respectively, which indicates the low cost of production and marketing in Syria than Jordan. Simple regression function was estimated by the impact of marketing costs, where the marketing costs of Syrian products same impact on production costs in jordan, orientation towards the export of surplus products for the Syrian market needs to Jordan, to take advantage of the exchange rate difference.
The research aims to estimate apple marketing margin and marketing efficiency, through the study of farm prices, and marketing functions of the apple throughout the whole marketing process, because of their great importance as indicators of the ma rketing process success. The data were collected from tow sources: the first is by frequent visits to apple markets in the study area, the second is by questionnaire that covered (110) apple farmers. The marketing margin and officiency were quantitively estimated based on the applied parameters wich are coinside, with the research nature. The research found that the apple marketing margin was very high, and the apple marketing efficiency was very low, and illustrated the causes of that. This investigation also showed the most important recommendations for the improvement the performance of the marketing functions, and enhancing the marketing margin and officiency.
