TECHNOLOGY EFFICENCY OF VOLUNTARY MILKING SYSTEM

Abstract

The installation of a voluntary milking system – automatic milking robot – leads to numerous changes in the milking process for example in breeding and feeding technology on the farm. Due to the robotic milking, the biological hazards are less than past. This modern robotic system helps to harmonize the milking, feeding and relaxing period of the herd, and also makes the compliance with food safety regulations easier. The payback period of this robotic milking technology is relatively high. The main objective of this paper is to find the level of cost changes and the level of benefit changes which is able to reduce the payback period. The sensitivity analysis is applied to find these levels. Under the proper conditions the voluntary milking system is able to increase the competitiveness of dairy farm.<br/><br/>
