Abstrakt
The research study addresses the problem of implementing progress in agricultural
production. This problem was developed on the basis of equipping farms with automatic milking
systems (AMS). Different forms of progress can be identified on a dairy farm, including technical
progress represented by AMS and biological progress expressed by milk yield of cows. The purpose
of this research study was to compare whether the milk yield of cows in certain European
countries meets the requirements for utilizing the milking potential of automatic milking systems.
The study used information on the suggested amount of milk that an one-stall milking robot
should milk per year. The second group of data was the annual milk yield of cows in the European
Union countries and Great Britain. In eight countries, the annual milk yield of cows was in the range
of 8,601–10,600 kg. It was found that in 2020, in these eight countries of the European Union,
the milk yield of cows was at a level that meets the performance requirements of one-stall
milking robot.
