The present study sought to investigate the knowledge of cow milkers on sanitary management of milking and caring for the quality of milk in the Milkproducing Units in the region of Rio Bonito-RJ, Brazil, through a qualitative approach. In order to achieve this objective, we interviewed ten milkers from farms in the Rio Bonito city, state of Rio de Janeiro, using a semi-structured form, consisting of observations and questions whose responses were recorded, transcribed and analyzed according to the triangulation methodology. Individual analysis of discourses showed that milkers had previous experience milking of animals, but they had no clear ideas on how to improve their workflow. It can be concluded that certain factors like scholarity and production volumes did not influence the application of hygienic sanitary practice and lack of skilled labor leads to failure in effective hygienic sanitary control.
