Abstract

This work aims to satisfy the requirements of the unit "Supervised Internship".During January and March 2015, was conducted a supervised internship in the dairy cattle industry Tijuca Alimentos farm, located in the Beberibe city in the east coast of Cearástate. The program consisted to follow the daily activities related to production (handling) and the management of dairy cattle industry in order to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the undergraduate period, under the technical guidance of a professional. The dairy farming in Brazil started in 1532. However, only from the 50s entered its modern phase, even though with little technological progress.In 1990, the fall of the milkprice influenced the activity to become more professional in order to join the globalized economy. As a result, occurred the trade liberalization and MERCOSUR implantation. The economic openness generated a great denationalization of Brazilian companies and an invasion of foreign products in our market as dairy products, for example. This resulted as Brazil becoming a benchmark for dairy products resulting in increased and improved production. The chain milk production has considered the milk quality as a fundamental factor, which is stimulated by being adopted in developed countries, resulting in a new consumer profile, which requires a demand for higher product quality.
