Abstract
The consequences of changes in the conditions of milk production (the application of machine milking) are also damage of the chemical components of milk, mostly on milk fat and the formation of free fatty acids (lipolytic process). The enlarged amount of free fatty acids is a criteria of lowering of the milk quality and. it could be also an indicator of quality of the milking equipment and technology of milking. In the trial we tested the influence of various milking systems on milk yield, on the contents of different milk components and even on the contents of free fatty acids. We established that the milking system can have a great influence on the amount of free fatty acids in milk. It has been found out that milking system can have strongest effect on the contents of free fatty acids.
