Borshch O. Impact of global climate changes on individual elements of milk production technology

The dissertation aimed at substantiating the basic elements and improving resource-saving technologies of milk production in global climate change by studying the impact of climate change on productivity, quality and safety of products, animal health, energy consumption and environmental friendliness of milk production by different technologies. The first time on the basis of analysis and consideration of a wide range of environmental factors scientifically substantiated and developed energy-saving technical and technological solutions to improve milk production and by-products for livestock in prefabricated and capital buildings and structures. The conducted research complements the concept of the influence of weather factors on the welfare and productivity of dairy cattle. For the first time, the applicant proved the degree of influence of climatic fluctuations in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Ukraine under the condition of using complex technologies of dairy farming and their individual elements on the level of productivity, reproduction and quality of products, animal welfare, aggregate consumption of resources, and the state of environmental safety. On the basis of analytical and experimental data, the optimal technological solutions for cattle breeding are substantiated, taking into account the obtained effect. It was found that the joint method of removal, storage and processing of manure with waste from washing and disinfection of milking equipment in a bioreactor-fermenter and in open lagoons increases the concentration of chlorides, sulfates and phosphates (Р≥0.999) in the drinking water of the farm catchment basin, compared to the technology of deep, long-term unchanged bedding, in which water and waste are disposed of separately.
