What is Post-Dipping

In the first stage of the study a literature review was performed, along with a study of the normative instructions (NI) related to the quality of milk, as well as maximum limits of quality indicators, such as somatic cell count (SCC) or standard plate count (SPC) and total bacterial count (TBC). These all represent factors that consequently generate milk quality, as any variation in milk production will affect production costs. The case studies were performed through on site observations at the properties using interview techniques between the researcher and producer, as through the dissemination of knowledge and development of the producers in the application of tools for Quality Improvement for Process Control with milk quality parameters as SPC, SCC and TBC in line with Normative Instruction 62, in force at the time of implementation of the projects in the regions surrounding Goiânia-GO and Pontal-MG, as well as good milking practices.
