The effect of the composition of the compound feed on some indicators of the effectiveness of robotic milking of cows

The influence of the compound feed composition fed under the conditions of the robotic milking system on the attendance of the milking station, the frequency of milking and milk productivity has been studied. The research material was Holstein cows in the peasant (farm) economy of the Republic of Tatarstan, serviced by "Astronaut A4" robotic milking from "Lely Industries N.V." As a result of the conducted research, it was noted that the composition of compound feed affects the frequency of visits to the milking station, the frequency of milking, milk productivity and the cost of compound feed per unit of production. The best results were obtained when feeding compound feed based on barley, oats and rye, followed by compound feed based on barley, wheat and peas. Compound feed showed the least effectiveness when it was enriched with more than three ingredients.
