Resumo
Milk and its derivatives are rich in nutrients and widely consumed by the population. However, the presence of chemical residues
is frequent in these products. This study aimed to carry out a diagnosis of the use of antibacterials and evaluate the knowledge
about these drugs and behaviors adopted by dairy producers in Goiás, Brazil. Atotal of 286 dairy farms in 36 municipalities in the
State were visited and interviews were conducted with the owner or auxiliary workforce. The questions addressed the production
parameters of the property and the use of antibacterials. The answers were presented in percentages and graphs. Statistical analysis
was performed using Pearson’s chi-square test at a 5% significance level. Only 26.2% of the producers used antibacterials
indicated by veterinarians and all producers (100%) disposed of milk with residues inappropriately. Tetracycline and penicillin
were the most used among the 21 cited active principles. Enteritis (22.1%), cattle tick fever (21.1%), and mastitis (19.4%) were
the main diseases treated with antibacterials. A total of 37.4% of respondents were unable to distinguish antibacterials from other
drugs. Moreover, the more specialized the farm, the greater the veterinary assistance and the greater the care for antibacterial
treatments. Most respondents (51.7%) had incomplete elementary education. These results provide important information about
how rural producers in the State of Goiás use antibacterials and serve as a basis for future interventions. The need for greater access
by producers to veterinary services in Goiás is evident to reduce the unnecessary and inappropriate use of antibacterials.
