Innovation – progressive way of farming that contribute to improved productivity. Thus, in dairy farming innovation increases the productivity of the dairy herd, Director of "krasnokamskiy repair-mechanical plant" Dmitry Teplov.

A real leader stands on this issue Israel – there's one cow has an average of 12 thousand litres of milk a year. "In Israel, every cow is actually a plant for the production of milk, and a fully computerized" — said the expert.

In Russia, one cow gives 4 136 kg of milk annually. This amount is not sufficient to cover the internal demand of the country in this product. "The reason our country is often used outdated technology that was used since 50-ies of the last century", — said Dmitry Teplov.

The expert said that the quality of food has a direct impact on the amount of milk yield from one cow, on the productivity and value of the end product. In this regard he cites the example of the European technology "Haylage in a line" – when the fodder freshly cut grass on the same day is Packed in foil, creating a sort of "green cans" for cows.

"Greatly influenced by the quality of fodder. While it's important to grow the right varieties of grass, time to mow, right store, right diet, affects many other factors. Error at each stage, can lead to decreased productivity by 20%. But if such blunders were many, the cow will also bring in 2% less milk", — says Dmitry Teplov.

Thus, modern technology of fodder "haylage in the package" "in contrast to conventional silage and haylage in the trench can be more than 20 million rubles a year per 1000 cows".

However, in Russia there are no programs to promote innovation in agriculture. The development of dairy farming is rather extensive way. The second constraint is the lack of good experts in the field of innovation.

"Only one dairy industry is losing in our country hundreds of billions of dollars per year without using modern technology. On upgrading thus need a time to spend only 20 to 30 billion roubles, — said Director of "CRS". — It is important that farmers have a desire to change and improve the effectiveness".
