Context: Milk is a complete diet and it adulteration could harmful for our health. So, Qualitative assay of milk can prove its safety. Objectives: To detect physical and chemical properties of milk of selected areas of Panchagarh district. Material and methods: The experiment was conducted at BRAC Milk collection centre Atowari Panchagarh & Milk Collection Centre of Milk Vita (BMPCUL) in Sadar Panchagarh. The experiment was conducted during the period of August, 2013 to March, 2014. To evaluate the quality of Kazi and Kazi Orgranic Dairy Farm, Kazi and Kazi Cooperative Dairy Farm, Local market and Farmers house. Results: The specific gravity of Kazi and Kazi orgranic dairy farm, Kazi and Kazi cooperative dairy farm, Local market, Farmers house 1.031±0.00, 1.026±0.00, 1.026±0.00 and 1.031±0.00 and the range is 1.029-1.033, 1.024-1.030, 1.023-1.029 and 1.029-1.033 respectively. Acidity, APT, Fat%, Solids-Not-Fat% (SNF), Total Solids% (TS), water content% in Kazi and Kazi organic dairy farm, Kazi and Kazi cooperative dairy farm, Local market, Farmers house are 0.14±0.01, 0.17±0.03, 0.17±0.02, 0.16±0.04, 2.00±0.00, 1.65±0.49, 1.65±0.49, 1.85±0.37, 4.10±0.22, 3.41±0.26, 3.14±0.24, 4.10±0.25, 8.66±0.31, 7.55±0.47, 7.33±0.39, 8.66±0.32, 12.76±0.45, 10.95±0.64, 10.47±0.38, 12.76±0.48, 87.24±0.45, 89.05±0.64, 89.53±0.38, 87.24±0.48. Statistical analysis showed that the different parameters of milk samples among the four different places were significant (P<0.01). From the result obtained it may be concluded that to get pure and wholesome milk the producers and distributors must be honest. Conclusion: On the basis of physical parameters like Organoleptic tests, Colour, Flavour, Taste, Specific gravity (Sp. gr.), CLR (corrected lactometer reading) it was found that milk produced at Kazi and Kazi organic dairy farm and farmer house was superior to other milk samples. The milk produced at Kazi and Kazi organic dairy farm was superior to other
