Abstract

This paper aims to present the mandatory supervised internship report of the Veterinary Medicine undergraduate student Ana Carolina Bastos Andrade Freire and to review the literature on the importance of Self-Control Programs (SCPs) for compliance with the Brazilian System for the Inspection of Products of Animal Origin (SISBI-POA) and for market expansion in dairy and dairy products establishments. The internship began in March under the supervision of Dr. Gladslene Góes Santos Frazão, serving as the Technical Manager (RT) for dairy industries, and was completed in June at the Agricultural Development Company of Sergipe (Empresa de Desenvolvimento Agropecuário de Sergipe). The literature review demonstrated that SCPs play a fundamental role in preventing microbiological, chemical, and physical hazardsthrough the control of hygiene practices, water quality, facility maintenance, temperature monitoring, traceability, laboratory analyses, and other procedures related to food production. It is concluded that Self-Control Programs constitute essential tools for enabling dairy establishments to comply with SISBI-POA requirements, while promoting product quality, consumer safety, and the competitiveness of dairy industries.
