Where are the drums argentine?
Putting a magnifying glass to the evolution of milk production in Argentina, we observed that the production systems are becoming more intensive, with more cows per dairy farm and more litres per cow, and among the drums are descollando the more than 10,000 liters/day.
With this emerging new needs as well as to adapt the facilities: pens and hall of milk, the supply of drinking water, the half-shadows, the staff, etc, And these inns of increased production are leading in the adoption of technology to improve the welfare animal sheds or to monitor health with the necklaces...and even observed a growing interesting in dairy farms with a milking robot (estimate more than 20,000 cows under this system).
En el gráfico siguiente se ve cómo, de un año para otro, los que van decayendo en su aporte al volumen de leche nacional son los tambos más chicos (<4.000 lt/d, unos 7.730 tambos con un promedio de 1.660 lt/d), mientras que el único grupo que ha crecido en producción es el de más de 10.000 lt/d. (550 tambos con un promedio de 17.224 lt/d, ver 2° gráfico).
In the following chart we can see the evolution of production of the drums largest in the proportion of dairy farms of the group with respect to the total number of dairy farms (%Drums) and the contribution to the overall volume (%Litres). Also a projection to the year 2030 with the current trend where the drum major will be almost 6% of the total but contribute more than 30% of the milk produced
