Abstract
This article examines the influence of the studied bedding material, which is dust-free wood shavings, cleaned from metal impurities and processed by thermochemical and biotechnological methods on the productivity of cows, the sanitary and hygienic quality of milk and the profitability of the products obtained. The production experience was carried out in the conditions of one of the farms of the Republic of Tatarstan on cows of the Holstein-Friesian breed and lasted for 3 months. To assess the quality of milk, the following indicators were taken into account: the amount of fat, protein, lactose, dry matter, non-fat milk solids, urea, somatic cells, as well as acidity, freezing point, pH, analysis for ketone bodies. The milk production was calculated based on the results of the control milking. Our studies have shown that, from an economic point of view, the use of the investigated bedding material is most effective.
Highlights
Dairy farming is one of the leading livestock industries
Applicable to dairy enterprises of the agro-industrial complex, the main task facing the heads of enterprises is to improve the quality and quantity of raw milk while reducing production costs
In the course of our study, a positive effect of the studied bedding material on the sanitary and hygienic indicators of milk in the experimental group was established: there was a slight increase in the content of fat, protein, lactose, while the number of somatic cells, on the contrary, decreased by 40.6 %
Summary
The task of providing the population with milk and dairy products is an urgent issue of the country's food security. Tasks have been set that require a radical restructuring of the industry, its withdrawal from a difficult crisis state in order to increase the production of food for the population and raw materials for the food industry [8]. Agricultural enterprises, regardless of their form of ownership, independently decide on the development of organizational and economic conditions to improve the efficiency and profitability of their production. Through in-depth analysis, possible trends in the further development of production are studied, the factors of changes in the results of activities are systematically investigated, and reserve ways of improving efficiency are identified. Applicable to dairy enterprises of the agro-industrial complex, the main task facing the heads of enterprises is to improve the quality and quantity of raw milk while reducing production costs
