An innovative cattle breeding farm started operating in Primorye

An automated livestock farm was launched in the seaside town of Fokino.

Thanks to special equipment, the farm is now considered the most modern in the region. A herd of 74 milking cows can be handled here by just one employee, as all other processes are performed by machines.

For instance, the robotic milker is able to milk cows almost around the clock, which come up to him when they feel the need. During the milking process, feed is poured into the cows and the robot milks them immediately while they are eating.

Cleaning of the barn is automated through a manure removal system; fodder is distributed to the animals by another robot which moves around the room according to a set program.

According to the information of Primorsky region government last year Larisa Buchirina, an entrepreneur, has got a grant of 28 million rubles according to the program "Starting farm, building of family farms". In addition to this amount, her farm also received about 9 million roubles additionally according to the tender committee's decision.

She used the proceeds to buy equipment, make repairs and improve the existing infrastructure.

Currently, the farmstead is located on 1,500 hectares of agricultural land with buildings.
