Results of studies of a suction-type milking machine with squeezing effect

Abstract

An important measure in dairy farming is to increase the rate of milk production by increasing the milk productivity of cows. The use of modern milking equipment that meets the requirements of animal physiology will help to increase the milk production of animals. Due to the analysis of device constructions it has been revealed that the most essential disadvantage is their extremely hard influence on teat receptors and consequently inhibition of milking reflex. This leads to a reduction in the milk yield and the milking intensity of the cow. One of the items of the Federal Scientific and Technical Programme for Agricultural Development 2017-2025, in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 21 July 2016 N°350 “On Measures to Implement the State Scientific and Technical Policy for Agricultural Development” and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 25 August 2017 N°996 “On Approving the Federal Scientific and Technical Programme for Agricultural Development 2017-2025” is technical and technological modernization of the agricultural sector, without which, with the equipment used, it is impossible to fully ensure import substitution with competitive products and increase the economic security of the country. Based on the above, it can be concluded that the work on improving milking machines is an urgent task and is of practical interest to farms.
