Conditions for the effective use of milking machines

Abstract

On dairy farms with a small number of livestock, it is not always profitable to use expensive high-performance machines and equipment. Here, it is more rational to use easy-to-maintain means of small mechanization, which significantly facilitate the work of the farmer, requiring low operating costs. milk production, in turn, is closely related to the method of keeping livestock. This method is a non-binding box method, in which, as domestic and foreign experience shows, labor costs are reduced several times. A significant increase in labor productivity in dairy cattle breeding provides, first of all, the development and implementation of advanced technologies in practice. Machine milking facilitates the work of operators and increases productivity, allows you to get clean, high-quality milk at a low cost. During milking cows, the service personnel must constantly monitor the process, do not miss its completion, turn off and remove the milking machine in time. Overexposure of it on the udder nipples after the end of milk excretion causes pain in the cow, a decrease in milk output, increases the duration of milking, leads to injury to the nipples, initiates mastitis disease. Technologies of industrial milk production the equipment used does not fully meet the zootechnical requirements for productivity, energy and metal consumption, reliability. Serial equipment is structurally difficult, the complexity of maintenance of automation tools for machine milking processes is great. The study of the technological process of machine milking shows that labor productivity at all milking plants depends primarily on the duration of manual operations and the time of milking cows. The article describes the automation of the milking process.
