To produce high-quality milk, it is necessary to use modern technologies and equipment for livestock farms and complexes. The observed low efficiency of livestock machinery and equipment is related to several factors, including lack of the repair and technical base and main repair and technical materials and spare parts required by the engineering and technical service (ETS); lack of highly qualified personnel; poor technical service (technical maintenance and current repairs are carried out by different specialists); lack of responsibility and incentives for ITS personnel for the final performance indicators (equipment efficiency, production volumes, product quality, etc.). To increase the reliability of livestock machinery and equipment, it is proposed to improve the organization of the technical maintenance of the machines and equipment and work of the ETS of farms. To determine the probability of a failure on livestock farms, it is proposed to perform deep technical diagnostics using advanced equipment and digital technologies, as well as planned technical inspections and routine repairs. This will significantly increase the service life of machines and reduce the amount of equipment downtime due to malfunctions. In order to stimulate ETS workers, it is proposed to use a service quality assessment indicator called the technical readiness coefficient. Additional incentives for ETS workers for ensuring a high level of technical readiness and the absence of downtime due to technical reasons are provided. In order to improve the quality of products, ETS workers are given bonuses for increasing the volumes and improving the quality of manufactured products.
