Abstract

Dairy production in Brazil is of great importance in the national agribusiness economy with about 1.1 million dairy properties, which together produce about 35 billion liters of milk per year, so the control of the raw material is fundamental in this process being capable of affecting the manufacture of derivatives to be produced in the dairy. The CCS and CPP and other physical-chemical analyzes are crucial for this process. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the profile of producers served by a Dairy located in the state of Minas Gerais, during seven months of the year 2021, and to evaluate the proportion of producers who were able to comply with normative instructions nº 76 and 77 of 2018 of the MAP. The research was carried out through statistical analysis and data tabulation, creating groups called quartiles. The classification took place according to the volume of milk produced and the quality of the milk according to parameters established by the aforementioned legislation. Participated in the research 131 milk producing properties served by the dairy. The results showed that regarding the values referring to the CPP analysis, the producers of all categories were able to comply with the current legislation, this denotes that the use of good milking hygiene and equipment is effectively occurring. In relation to the CCS of the milk delivered to this dairy, it was above what was foreseen in the legislation, indicating that the health of the mammary gland of these animals was not ideal, due to the presence of mastitis in the herd. Therefore, the implementation of a payment program for milk quality would be indicated, in which measures were adopted to reduce these numbers, according to each reality of each producer.
