OREANDA-NEWS On 08 September was announced, that in order to ensure raw materials supply for flour mills of the largest grain processor of Siberia and the Far East, enterprises located in the Altay and Krasnoyarsk regions grow winter and summer wheat, several varieties of ‘grey’ crops. However, there are arable units in PAVA that develop livestock farming. One of them is OJSC ‘Melnikovo’ (the Novichihinsky district).

The enterprise keeps approximately 1,000 heads of dairy cattle. Today, the average milk yield is nearly 9 litres a day per cow. 40% of the herd is young stock. Besides, in future, it is planned to purchase about 200 heifer cows for replacement and increase of population.

In late August, the roof covering and ceiling in the barn where the milking herd is kept were repaired. Repair works were conducted at the expense of the investor – OJSC PAVA.
