Among family farmers, milk production is one of the main activities developed. The aim of this work was to evaluate the milk quality in the some properties and to monitor or manage the properties for observation of deficient points. The project was conducted on rural properties in the Bambuí / MG city and which works with bovine milk production, saves between 50 and 600 liters per day. The work started on March 2015 and ended on February 2016 and was developed through a partnership with Laticínio Total União Ltda. Three steps were performed, namely: data collection, milk quality analysis and work results obtained through meetings and lectures with producers and publication of booklet. The project's target farms was 12 rural properties with an average production of up to 600 liters of milk per day, without qualifying as small and medium producers, selected after the first phase. The milk quality analyzes were performed without 30 days interval for 4 months and the monitoring of the productive management performed throughout the project. It can be seen that the producers analyzed largely did not have the herd specialized in milk production and did not receive professional technical assistance.

The goat's milk is an excellent choice to replace cow’s milk for children and adults, who are allergic to cow’s milk. Both the proteins and the fat portion of goat’s milk are absorbed by the body faster than cow's milk. Visually it is not possible to differentiate cow’s milk from goat’s milk, which can be differentiated through odor and taste which generates some concern to consumers. The objective of this study were to evaluate the acceptability of goat’s milk, compared to cow’s milk by children and young adults between 06 and 21 years old, in public network of schools Bambuí–MG, living in different socioeconomic levels, in order to verify if there is difference, in acceptance, between these two types of milk and study if the age and socioeconomic status could influence the results. Samples were prepared with chocolate powder and subjected to sensory evaluation by a group of 330 students, who are milk consumers. The samples were evaluated for preference through the hedonic scale of 5 points, asking about the score of the consumers and the preference of each type of milk. The test was conducted in two public schools.  the data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test for comparison of means. Although goat's milk has some compositional characteristics and different physicochemical properties of cow's milk, there was no difference between them, due to acceptability between students of the public high school and elementary school network. The mixture 50% goat milk + 50% cow's milk generated greater rejection of the sampled population, a fact justified by the formation of small clots when mixing the different types of milks. Conventional cow's milk can be replaced by goat's milk in school meals, regardless of the age group and socioeconomic status of students.
