An increase in milk productivity of cows depends not only on the genetic potential of animals and feeding, but also on the milk production equipment used. Milk production on any livestock farm depends on the efficiency of the technological system of machine milking in the chain “animals - milking machine - service personnel”, i.e. milking equipment must maximally correspond to physiological and morphological properties of cows’ udders, and the operation procedures must be followed. The paper presents the results of research on the effectiveness of using the UID 07.000 and Stimopuls MA milking machines in the technology of machine milking of Black-and-White cows kept in tie-stalls. Their influence on physiological properties of cows’ udders was determined. It has been established that the use of Stimopuls MA milking machines makes it possible to more fully unlock the potential of animals, increase productivity of dairy herd by more than 5% and thereby reduce the cost of production.
The conducted production studies of dairy cattle breeding in the large-scale agricultural enterprise KSUP «Veletin» found that all major factors of creating highly efficient agricultural systems should be involved in increasing economic efficiency. At the same time, in obtaining high-quality milk, great attention should be payed to its microbiological indicators.
It has been established that the intensity of the load on 1 milking machine when milking on a leash is 8,1 cow milkings per hour, in the milking parlor – 8,9, and when using a robot – 7,8. Thus, within an hour on a leash, 4 operators with three milking machines can milk up to 100 cows, in a milking parlour, 2 operators – up to 108 heads, of milking by four robots – up to 32 cows.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
