Russia Rolls Out AI-Driven Platform to Manage Dairy Herds

The new system, MOLOKO 2.0, is helping Russian farms optimize feeding, breeding, and animal health—boosting productivity and autonomy from foreign tech.

Russia’s dairy industry is rapidly adopting robotics and automation. According to the country’s Ministry of Agriculture, automated milking systems are now used in 44 percent of milk-producing farms. These technologies help monitor animal behavior and health, fine-tune nutrition, and guide breeding decisions.

A standout example is MOLOKO 2.0, a homegrown IT platform designed to manage livestock with AI support. The system tracks feeding impacts on milk yield, evaluates animal well-being, and offers targeted advice on reproduction, feeding schedules, and calving.

The platform doesn’t stop there. It also assists farmers in generating reports and planning herd management strategies.

Farmers who’ve tested the system say it rivals, and in some cases exceeds, the capabilities of advanced foreign herd management solutions.

As Russian agriculture embraces AI, tools like MOLOKO 2.0 are laying the groundwork for more efficient, resilient, and self-sufficient farming operations.
