Summary: This study aimed to characterize the quality of goat milk obtained from dairy farms family based in the states of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará, Brazil, before and after the adoption of good practices in milking, according to Kit Embrapa of Manual Milking for dairy goats. The milk samples for total bacterial counts (CTB) were collected after the morning milking, directly from brass, for three days before and three days after the adoption of Kit Embrapa. The data was statistically analyzed by the statistical program R, through the Student t test for paired samples and comparison of means by logarithmic transformation neperiana. The mean values found were 5,2x105 CFU/mL and 4,1x105 CFU/mL respectively before and after use of the kit. The results indicate that the quality of goat milk produced on estates family based in both States, is within the parameters of hygiene and quality. However, there is a need for improvements in hygiene and sanitary handling of animals before, during and after milking, the milk for obtaining the best commercial quality.
