The territory of the Republic of the North Caucasus has natural resources in the form of rich mixed grasslands located in mountainous areas. This natural resource is not fully used, especially for dairy farming. The technical means of the livestock production process produced by domestic manufacturers are not intended for milking in mountain conditions. In addition, due to the lack of infrastructure in the mountainous areas of pasture location, the organization of the production process is associated with difficulties in energy supply and transport. A developed technological process for the production of cow’s milk in mountainous conditions of management by the distant method of keeping the herd in a closed cycle is proposed. The production line includes milking machines for mountain conditions, individual means of collecting manure, means of energy supply using non-traditional energy sources, utilization of production wastes in the form of methane and organic fertilizers introduced into the soil of pastures, agricultural land of the farm and the sale of surplus to third-party farms. The technical equipment passed state tests and confirmed the output results in the production process. The introduction of the proposed technology of dairy farming in mountainous farming conditions will significantly improve the profitability of farmers in the region.
