It was determined that prior to the application of the BPOs, compliance with the basic requirements in the milking process was 26.32%, achieving a significant change with the application of the BPO reaching 89.47% compliance, also milk density, fat content and the freezing points remained constant,SNG,protein and lactose, that meet the requirements demanded by INEN.
