Resumen:
The goat has been highlighted in the semiarid region of Brazil for its importance in income generation, but is a
recent activity, a reality of the early two thousand, with encouragement from the state government through the
milk of Paraiba program. The municipality is located in the Sumé cariri Paraiba region, is part of the milk
production chain and state government program where you buy milk from producers through the company's
technical assistance and rural extension of Paraiba and are distributed in schools and share with needy families
enrolled in the government program. All this incentive is a great challenge for this zoo technical exploration.
Health management and hygiene practices during milking have implications often with lack of knowledge and
to the producer of the basic rules of this management, thus justifying the problem with hygiene and milk quality
training. The study was directed by a zootechnical prepared to evaluate these practices, interview with the
producers on the property and follow procedures for cleaning the milking questionnaire.
