Economic efficiency of sanitary treatment of milking equipment using ecologically safe detergent-sanitizers Sanimol L and Sanimol K

Abstract

Goal. To determine the economic efficiency of sanitation of milking and dairy equipment with the use of new detergents Sanimol L and Sanimol K. Methods. General scientific methods are used: analysis and synthesis, comparison, and theoretical generalization. A direct calculation of the difference in the cost of similar funds is also made. Results. It is determined that the total estimated economic effect per 100 lactating cows during sanitation of 5 portable milking machines three times a day and milk cooler once a day with Sanimol L and Sanimol K during the year will be UAH 21,097 compared to CircoSuper AF and Sidmax. The economic effect obtained due to the increase of microbiological indicators of milk quality as a result of sanitary treatment of milking equipment with Sanimol L and Sanimol K is calculated for 100 cows for 3 times milking with portable milking machines. The milk yield for one lactating cow was 4,500 kg/year. Before the introduction of sanitary treatment of milking equipment with Sanimol L and Sanimol K, the farm received the grade I milk which worth 8.4 UAH/kg. The use of these preparations made it possible to obtain and deliver milk to the processing plant of the extra grade for 9.8 UAH/kg. Annual economic effect — UAH 624097.2. Conclusions. The use of Sanimol L for sanitary treatment of milking equipment is 1.3–1.8 times more cost-effective compared to CircoSuper AF, and Sanimol K — 3.8–4 times more than Sidmax. The annual economic effect due to the use of Sanimol L and Sanimol K for sanitation of milking equipment and dairy equipment on dairy farms with a population of 100 cows will amount to UAH 624097.2.
