The aim of this experiment was examine the quality and hygienic correctness of goat milk in Skopje region, R. of Macedonia. The researches were conducted on 3 goat farms: “Taor”, “Kozhle” and “Ajvatovci” the villages near by the Skopje, R. Macedonia. The experiment included 9 milk samples per each farm, in period April (total 27 samples) and the same situation in May 2015 year. Average Milk Fat Content (AMFC) and Average Milk Protein Content (AMPC) in the three goat farms in month April/2015 were 3.68% and 3.34 respectively, but AMFC and AMPC in the three goat farm in month May/2015 were 3.74% and 3.23% respectively. Average Somatic Cells Content (ASCC) in the three goat farm in month April/2015 were 924.667/ml milk and Average Somatic Cells Content (ASCC) in the three goat farm in month May/2015 were 518.667/ml milk. Average Bacteria Content (ABC) in the three goat farm in month April/2015 were 1.688.667/ml milk, Average Bacteria Content (ABC) in the three goat farm in month May/2015 were 1.517.333/ml milk. About chemical composition of goat milk in Skopje region is in correlation of article 7 from Regulation for quality of raw milk (Gazette of RM No. 96/11), the same situation is about somatic cells in goat milk in Skopje region. But about the total number of bacteria of goat milk in Skopje region the results are not in correlation with Regulation for microbiological quality of raw milk and classified goat milk in the II class of quality.
