Particular practical recommendations for the maintenance of dairy equipment in mountain pastures

The purpose of the direction of research activity is scientific and technical support with technical means and sound technological support for the production of cow’s milk in the conditions of foothill and mountain animal husbandry. The article is an appendix to a separate research work in the field of scientific support for the production of cow’s milk in the conditions of the North Caucasus or similar regions of the country and the world. The number of milking machines used by producers is growing every year. Here, labor productivity depends not only on the number of machines used, but also on their reliability and durability. Any machine or installation, if it often fails to work, brings losses to the farm instead of being economically efficient. Technical means and technology for dairy farming in conditions of foothill and mountain pastures have been developed. The technology for operating technical equipment includes maintenance of the proposed equipment during the full cycle of operation. Milking machines can be highly efficient only if they are skillfully operated and carried out timely and high-quality maintenance. The North Caucasus region is rich in pasture land for the production of cow’s milk, but the degree of mechanization of the production process is in its infancy. The developed maintenance includes: daily and shift maintenance before milking; technical care No. l; technical care No. 2; technical care No. 3.
