Caracterização de propriedades leiteiras familiares no município de Santa Rosa (RS) no ano de 2021

Abstract

The milk production chain has evolved, but quality standards have not kept pace with this evolution. Thus, the government implemented the norms (INS) 76 and 77, effective on May 30, 2019, with the purpose of improving the quality standard of the milk produced. From the required standards, it was evident how much the milk product is outside the standards. The region of Santa Rosa-RS is inserted in an important milk basin in the State of RS, it is traditional in milk production, however there are no studies that demonstrate the real situation of the milk produced in this micro-region. We sought to characterize the dairy properties of Santa Rosa - RS in relation to the milk production process, in accordance with current legislation. The work carried out is part of an exploratory research on twenty-nine properties. Subsequently, a survey of quantitative data and on productive and health aspects related to the management of the herd and the quality of the milk produced was carried out. In this region, milk production is mostly primary, based on family management, employing two to three people per property, in a mechanized process, using Holstein, Jersey breeds and crossing them, in pasture system, with supplementation. Technical properties are monitored on the properties and the animals are vaccinated. The milk is collected, stored in coolers and sent every two days to the CCGL, Piá Lac and Italac industries, which carry out new tests, sometimes detecting unstable, non-acidic milk. It was found that all producers are aware of the legislation and that some have taken courses, but not all of them are in control of milk production.
