The invention relates to the technical field of milk powder detection, and particularly relates to a method for detecting probiotics in milk powder by an Illumina Miseq sequencing platform. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) extraction of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of a milk powder genome, i.e., after brewing the milk powder, carrying out primary centrifugation to take supernatant, then carrying out secondary centrifugation to take precipitates, adding buffer solution to oscillate, and then after adding lysozyme to perform a reaction, carrying out extraction of the DNA of the genome; (2) PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplification, i.e., aiming at v1 to v3 regions of 16s rDNA of a bacterium, selecting a specific primer to carry out PCR amplification; (3) Illumina Miseq sequencing, i.e., carrying out Illumina Miseq sequencing on a PCR product. The Illumina Miseq sequencing method effectively avoids the defects of low flux, complex operation, low accuracy and the like by analysis, not only can simultaneous sequencing on a plurality of variable regions of a plurality of samples be implemented, but also both a sequencing speed and a sequencing flux are further, and a detection result is high in credibility.
