EFFICIENCY OF USING DIFFERENT PRODUCTS FOR PRE- AND POST-MILKING TREATMENT OF COW UDDER TEATS

Abstract

Dairy cattle breeding is the most important branch of animal husbandry, which provides domestic milk processing plants with raw materials and the population with high-value food products. Recently, more and more attention has been paid to milk quality in milk production. Non-compliance with milking hygiene rules, lack of preventive measures and other components of the milk production process can negatively affect the quality of the resulting products. The article presents the results of a scientific work that studied the effect of hygiene products based on chlorhexidine and iodine on the state of the mammary gland and the quality of milk obtained in the conditions of Municipal Agricultural Unitary Enterprise “Experimental base “Maysk” of the Ivatsevichy District. As studies have shown, the greatest economic efficiency of milk production is achieved when using prophylactics and disinfectants based on chlorhexidine. This makes it possible to increase the profitability of dairy cattle breeding of the agricultural enterprise and significantly reduce the incidence of subclinical and clinical mastitis in animals - by 10.0 and 2.5 percentage points, respectively.
