The objective of this research was evaluate the milk quality on dairy farms in Linha Sata Cruz, Três Arroios city, Rio Grande do Sul. It aimed to evaluate the Protein index, Fat, Total dry extract (EST), Dry extract degreased (ESD), Total Bacterial Count (TBC) and Somatic Cell Count (SCC), through monthly analyzes, during months of November 2015 to April 2016. Data were tabulated and subsequently attached at the study, with the amount prescribed in the Normative n° 62, which determines the rates at which the product must meet. After the analyses, it was verified that Protein index, Fat and Total dry extract and Dry extract degreased were within required by the Normative n° 62. However, it can be observed that the values of Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and Total Bacterial Count (TBC) exceeded the limits in most cases. It was noted that the quality of milk produced presented Protein values , Fat, Total Dry Extract and Dry Extract degreased within the required company.
