Milk productivity and quality of cows' milk when using various types of bedding materials

The use of the studied hygienic bedding material, manufactured by OMEGA LLC and meeting the requirements of TU 16.29.14-001-19235409-2018, improves certain microclimate parameters in the livestock building, namely, reducing humidity, harmful gases, dust pollution and microbial contamination; improved milk quality, expressed in a significant decrease in somatic cells by 45.5 % and microbial contamination - 58.0 % compared with the control group, where the animals were kept on straw bedding. Ultimately, the improvement in milk quality contributed to an increase in unit selling price in the experimental group, where the studied hygienic bedding material was used, resulting in a profitability increase of 0.52 % compared to the control group, where the animals were kept on straw bedding, and economic efficiency per 1 ruble of additional costs amounted to 1.68 rubles.
