Aplicação de boas práticas agropecuárias na caprinocultura leiteira em propriedades da agricultura familiar.

Abstract

Dairy goat culture today is of great importance for the country economy, especially for Northeast, but even with great production and as important still needs study and care. Thus, the aim with this work was to evaluate the goat milk in properties of the family farming before and after the application of good agricultural practices in the management of milking. Was selected two properties previously known and evaluated for the failures in the management of milking. Thereafter they were made two collections of samples before and after the application of good practice, with follow-up visits per month per seven months. These were submitted to the physical and chemical, and microbiological analyzes, and search for residues of antibiotics. It was observed improvement in the quality of milk after the use of best practices, mainly regarding antibiotic residues and microbiological characteristics, but the properties still need attention because the physicochemical values were lower than expected, demonstrating the need for care due to the loss generated by the periods of food shortages and failures in the handling to which these animals are subjected furthermore antibiotic residues were still present in up to 52% of the animals. After the execution of the work is possible to confirm the failures in the management of milking and product quality, beyond and the need adjustments of these properties, because the improvement in many points was significant, reaching more than 90%.
