KOTTOVÁ, Michaela
The aim was to compare and evaluate the economics of breeding in the free and stanchion housing, in the free housing for the use of modern milking robots. The account has been taken as parameters of performance and fertility and return on investment in free housing with milking robots. The results of the holding area farming of 1800 hectares at an altitude of 500-800 meters above sea level, two stanchion housing and one free stalls, which were used in the milking robot is an economically challenging investment were evaluated in the study. All three stalls were followed for two years, the milk production and fertility were analyzed and the economics of processing the results were recorded in 1083 cows. It was found that in the stall with free housing and milking with robots, while costs increased, but compared to the breeding of stanchion housing has reached the breeding of higher productivity, lower losses and less incidence of health disorders. In the first period this activity showed a profit. In the second period, the results are affected by problems of low farm-gate milk prices, which persist to this day. Observed results suggest that the favorable economic situation of the company in terms of investment and breeding conditions can only recommend a change from a serious technology for open housing, but also the use of milking robots, which are significant savings in labor costs. However, it is necessary to allow for depreciation of new buildings and thus with the high cost of feeding cows the day or unit of production. Free housing has high performance and milk quality, was also detected in the free stall successful reproduction due to better recognize heat and favorable overall welfare of dairy cows.
