This year Zolotaya Niva production cooperative (Vinnytsia region) plans to achieve milk yield of 9 thousand liters of milk per cow this year. l

The farm switched to the production of premium milk. For several months, they have been operating a new dairy block with a domestic-made Christmas tree-type milking parlor.

The animals on the Zolotaya Niva farm have been gradually being transferred to a loose housing system for several years. Today, only bull-calves for fattening remained on tethered content.

“By and large, the amount of milk does not depend on tethered or loose housing,” says Nikolai Demchuk, livestock breeding specialist, artificial insemination technician at Zolotaya Niva. - The main thing is to properly feed the animals. We feed twice a day: at 7:00 and 16:00. We practice the same type of feeding. In the diet of dairy cows - sunflower cake, rolled corn, legume bran, molasses, salt, silage, haylage, hay, alfalfa, straw. We do not give any additives. We have high milk yield only on our own feed. "

For information, the land bank "Golden Cornfield" is 2.6 thousand hectares. The farm contains about 700 heads of cattle, of which 200 are dairy cows.
