Abstrakt
The objective of the research was to find whether any differences exist between cattle
herds operated by certain milking installations. The cattle herds were studied not only by herd
size but also by certain data, like annual milk yield, age and number of lactations. Data collected
on dairy farms that operate pipeline milking systems, milking parlours and automatic milking
systems were analysed. These farms are situated in three Baltic States. The investigated Estonian
dairy farms indicated a decreased tendency in the prevalence of disease cases for udder diseases
with an increase in cow herd size. An index of cow production potential was proposed to compare
different (including number of lactations) group of cows in dairy farms.
