Resumo:
The objective of this study was to analyze the milk production system of crossbred goats in a rural property in the municipality of Sumé, Cariri Paraibano mesoregion, trying to correlate the milk control, the feeding, the facilities, the milking, the used labor, the with a view to developing public policies and regional incentive programs for the dairy sector. Thus, in order to reach the objective of the work, a research was carried out in a goat milk production unit, located in the city of Sumé-PB, where 10 (ten) crossbred goats were sampled. Therefore, based on the adopted methodology, it can be observed that Among the factors that influence milk production, we have the age of the goats constituting an important source of variation, because with the advancing age there is a considerable increase in the production of goats. milk, where it is in production, increases until 4 years, then stabilizes to begin to decline from 6 years. Given this scenario, it can be observed that Even without proper techniques and management, the animals showed an adequate production average according to each system.
