Description
Summary:An excellent quality milk must have high protein, fat and total solids percentages, low mesophilic and somatic cells counts, and to be free of inhibitor and foreign substances in order to ensure its safety. The objective of this study was to classify the dual-purpose farms based on its milk quality and its marketing channels in a subregion of the middle Sinu in the colombian Caribbean. The study type was descriptive cross sectional. Physicochemical, microbiological variables and udder health were analyzed. Zootechnical parameters were evaluated in order to stablish the manage factors. Equally , through an analysis of mayor compounds and multiple matches the productivity and competitiveness of the farms was categorized based on row milk quality parameters. Most livestock companies were considered as medium length with manual milking and milk storage in canteens. The percentage of cows in milking are not high and a third part of the producer manifested higher income by sales other than milk. It was determined that the higher competitiveness associated with higher quality and productivity indexes occurred in farms where best management practices were implemented. It is necessary to implement good livestock practices to increase the competitiveness.
