Prepared on the basis of a presentation by representatives of «DeLaval» Edward Ziegert at the opening of a dairy complex PAL «Ukraine» (HC «Eridon») in the village Pochuyky Popilnyansky district, Zhytomyr region.

July 7, 2015 at 7 am for the first time in Zhytomyr udder of the cows was touched by robot, but not milkmaids. It took place at built from scratch dairy farm PAL «Ukraine». It is equipped with 8 voluntary milking stations, which will serve 500 cows.

This was preceded by an event, that will no doubt be called the beginning of the era of robotization in the history of Ukrainian dairy production: startup of the first production unit with automated milking station in December 2012 at «Terezino» (Kyiv district). Today Ukraine counts 20 VMS stations: eight in Kyiv region, eight in Zhytomyr region and four in Donetsk region.
