Abstract
Under the 8-min effect of electromagnetic radiation of the extremely high frequency (EHF) millimeter range (129 GHz) on the mammary gland of cows, the average daily milk yield was 20.8 ± 0.2 kg; under the 12-min effect, 21.7 ± 0.2 kg; in the control it was 18.7 ± 0.2 and 19.6 ± 0.4 kg. An organoleptic evaluation of irradiated milk selected for producing cottage cheese didn’t reveal differences. Milk of the experimental cows had a well-expressed taste and aroma, clean, without off-odor and off-flavor, white color, and uniform consistency. All samples met the requirements of the Technical Regulations “Milk and Dairy Products.” The quality indices of Cheddar cheese made from irradiated cow’s milk were insignificantly higher than those not made from irradiated milk.
