ABSTRACT This paper applies an intelligent method for resource optimization on a livestock farm. This study is designed to provide information to dairy farmers who keep animals on pasture about the potential impact of triple milking on farm productivity and performance. To enhance milk production per cow, some dairy producers have started milking their cows three times a day. The article shows a strategy to reduce financial risk. By increasing productivity on a cow farm, income is increased. Farm management is essential. If the farmer is familiar with cow farm risk management he can significantly increase his income, can reduce cow diseases and improve the overall functionality of the farm. The idea behind triple milking is that it makes it possible to remove milk from the udder more frequently, which encourages the cow to yield more milk. Farmers try to optimize total milk production efficiency and maximize milk supply per cow by milking three times a day. It is proposed to increase milking from twice a day to three times a day, which increases milk yield and hence the profit of the cow farm. The annual income and costs of a cow farm are calculated and the benefits of the proposed method of increasing milk yield are shown. Advantages and disadvantages of three-fold milking are shown. |
