RESUMO.Objetivou-se analisar a viabilidade do transferidor de leite adaptado à tubulação de vácuo da ordenha, apresentar sua composição, seu funcionamento e indicadores nos aspectos de mão-de-obra e qualidade do leite. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma propriedade rural, no munício de Piranguinho, MG, onde se produz leite com características de agricultura familiar, durante o período de agosto de 2015 até junho de 2016. Os dados foram colhidos através de visitas realizadas na propriedade onde foram feitas entrevistas e observações sobre o uso do equipamento. Foram utilizados resultados de análises de leite, em um período com e sem o uso do transferidor, visando investigar possíveis alterações de qualidade do leite. Dentre os resultados encontrados, destaca-se a confecção do transferidor do leite adaptado ao vácuo da ordenha, com peças de baixo custo. Foi constatada, também, sua funcionalidade no transporte de leite, da sala de ordenha até o tanque de resfriamento, em substituição ao carregamento manual em latões. Não houve alteração significativa da qualidade do leite na contagem bacteriana total, quando se comparado períodos com ou sem o uso do transferidor de leite.Palavras chave: agricultura familiar, bovinocultura de leite, inovação, qualidade de leite Development of a milk transfer adapted to the milking machine vacuumABSTRACT. It was intended to study the viability of the milk transfer adapted to the vacuum piping of the milking machine, present its composition, its functioning and indicators in the aspects of labor and milk quality. The study was conducted on a farm in the municipality of Piranguinho -Brazil, where milk is produced with family farming characteristics during the period of August of 2015 to June of 2016. The data were collected through visits performed on farms where interviews and observations about the use of the equipment were done. Results of milk analyses over a period with and without the use of transfer were utilized, aiming to investigate possible alterations of milk quality. Among the results found, the making of the milk transfer adapted to the vacuum milking machine stands out, with low cost pieces. Its functionality in the milk transportation from the milking parlor to the cooling tank was found in substitution to the hand carrying in cans. There was no significant interaction of milk quality in the total bacterial count when compared with the periods with or without milk transfer.
