Milk contamination may occur in these ways:

* Animal feces coming into direct contact with the milk

* Infection of the udder (mastitis)

* Cow diseases (for example, bovine tuberculosis)

* Bacteria that live on the skin of animals

* Environment (for example, feces, dirt, and processing equipment)

* Insects, rodents, and other animal vectors

* Unsanitary conditions in milk processing plant

* Cross-contamination from dairy workers, such as contact with dirty clothing or boots

From my reading raw milk can be contaminated inside and outside the cow from such a myriad of sources and while cramped industrial farming might increase the likelihood of contamination it doesn't remotely eliminate the risks. Also note pasteurization practices originated prior to industrial farming
