Industrial milk production in Estonian SSR

Title in Estonian: Piima tööstuslik tootmine Eesti NSV-s

1978 | Documentary, Commissioned, Other categories | Director: Evald Vaher

Documentary giving an overview about the technology of industrial milk production.

Collective farms all over the Estonian SSR have more than two hundred modern farms for dairy cattle since the decisions by the Communist Party and the government that cattle breeding should be transferred to industrial bases. These dairy farms house more than half of Estonian dairy cattle. Concentrating and specializing of beef cattle have made it possible to frequently lower the labour expenses and that is reflected by the dynamics of average milk production during one human hour. The documentary gives an overview about the technology and achievements of industrial milk production.

Estonian Film Database (EFDB)

The database is maintained by NGO Estonian Film Database. It was opened on 12.12.2012 and is meant for providing information about the whole Estonian film heritage from 1912. We plan fully complete it by 2025 but already now full and partial entries for about 20 000 films, 27 000 filmmakers, and more than 200 production companies could be retrieved in Estonian and partly in English. Translation of film descriptions and keywords into English is ongoing but due to the scarcity of resources quite a slow process. Read more detailed overview.
