Abstract: Organized mechanical vibrations in the frequency range of several times of tens of Hz in the milk production elements of cows ensure health and essentially stop the development of hazardous processes in them. Electromechanical vibrator driven by unbalanced DC electric motor of asynchronous type is attached to each teat cup of the milking machine milk producing element. A mathematical model of the system is obtained, which enables us to observe the vibrating processes analytically – graphically as well as to predict the dynamic synchronization of those vibrations. The purpose of the work is to create organized vibrating processes and to improve the health of animals as well as the quality of milking process.
Keywords: dynamic synchronization through the tissues of milk producing elements; forced frequencies; forced mechanical vibrations; process of producing milk of cows
