Profitability of dairy farming in relation to the type of feeding systemWe investigated the profitability of dairy farms in relation to the type of feeding system (seasonal pasture vs. permanent housing). An economic analysis was carried out of data on the structure and financial health of 50 farms in 2007 using questionnaires filled in by the farmers. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to reveal causal relationships between a number of characteristics of the farms. The two axis of PCA explained 40.48% and 16.13% of the variability among the selected farm characteristics. Profitability related more to the number of subsidies, the area of arable land, the number of livestock and to the milk and plant production than to the area of meadows and pastures. Although a better cow performance was achieved on farms with confined herds, the profit per agricultural area and profit rate did not differ significantly between the two feeding strategies (P>0.05). The profit was 3,259 and 3,655 CZK/ha on average and the profit rate 7.9% and 5.6% on average on farms with pastured herds and on farms with confined herds, respectively. A lowering of input costs and a more effective utilisation of grasslands may further enhance profitability.

Difficulty Index

In the present study, a test was developed to measure the knowledge level of dairy farmers about scientific dairy farming. A preliminary set of 87 knowledge items was initially administered to 60 randomly selected dairy farmers for item analysis. The difficulty index and discrimination index was found out, and the items with difficulty index ranging from 30 to 80 and the discrimination index ranging from 0.30 to 0.55 were included in the final format of the knowledge test. A total of 48 items which fulfilled both the criteria were selected for the final format of knowledge test. Reliability of the test through split half method was found out to be 0.386 and the coefficient of correlation value by the test-retest method was 0.452, which was found to be significant at 1% level of significance. Hence, the knowledge test constructed was highly stable, reliable and validated for measuring what it intends to.

Materials Used

Problems of technical service of machinery and equipment in animal husbandry are mostly related to the restructuring of the economic model of interaction between agricultural producers and organizations that supply and service of machinery and equipment. Currently, the entrance control of products and spare parts purchased abroad is not established, and the materials used to make parts in contact with milk (teat rubber, milk hoses, etc.) are not checked for compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of Health. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in justifying the structure of the engineering center for integrated solutions in the field of dairy farming based on the Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM. (Materials and methods) The article presents the results of studying sources describing the past and present experience of organizing a system of technical service of machines and equipment for dairy farming in the Russian Federation and foreign countries that are leading in terms of milk production. Authors collected information from key equipment suppliers when visiting industry exhibitions (Euro Tier, AgroFarm, Golden Autumn, etc.). (Results and discussion) The article proposes the concept of creating an engineering center on the basis of the Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM according to the developed structure. (Conclusions) The implementation of the proposed structure for creating an engineering center will eliminate the existing imbalance in the field of technical service of livestock enterprises, establish information, design, machine-technological and service support for the reconstruction and successful development of livestock enterprises in the industry.
