Abstract:

The systems of milk production mostly classified into low-input subsistence-based (predominant for Africa and Asian countries), extensive pasture-based (predominant system for Ireland and New Zealand) and intensive stall-fed systems (predominant system in United States, Canada, and Western Europe). According to our investigations the increase of milk production approximately by 12% was described in 2014 compared with the 2010 in Armenia. The increasing of milk production volumes after the 2013 based on developing of both intensive and extensive systems despite the limited use of intensive systems in Armenia.
