Economic efficiency of mixed fodder distribution by an individual automatic dispenser

Abstract

The article presents an experimental production installation of an individual automatic dispenser of mixed fodders with a conic blade operating part, which is an element of an automatic system of control for the technological process (ASC TP) of milk production, securing the functions of automatic identification of cows, summing of actual consumption of mixed fodders, supply of statistical information about their consumption; control for feeding and physiological conditions of cows, documenting of the obtained data. The objective of the research is to develop a methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of the use of an automated individual distributor-feed dispenser. Developed automated individual distributor-dispenser feed, automated produces an appropriate rate of feed to each animal individually depending on its performance, helps to increase milk productivity of cows and prevents the incidence of gastric disease, reduces cost of animal feed due to the uniformity and accuracy of the issuance of razdevaet dosing, reduces the power consumption of the dosing process animal feed due to the construction of metering working body of the distributor-dispenser increases productivity of the operator by automating the process of individual hand. The research describes a structural scheme of the factors of economic effect. Analysis of the factors demonstrates that general economic effect from application of an individual automatic dispenser with a conic blade operating part is mainly achieved by growth in production (technological effect) and save consumption of mixed fodders. The work proposes methods of measuring of the expected effect from an individual automatic dispenser of mixed fodder with a conic blade operating part. To examine constructions of dry fodder dispensers and an opportunity of their use in automatic system of control for a technological process of milk production, the author of the article carried out a comparative estimation of operating efficiency of dry fodder dispensers. Application of an individual automatic dispenser of mixed fodder in the structure of an ASC TP of milk production in the process of fodder distribution will secure obtaining of an expected annual economic effect per 100 cows. Economy of mixed fodders will constitute 138,24 hwt, energy saving – 90,34 kWt, labor consumption – 2737,5 man hour, with the obtained technological effect from growth of milk production in the amount of 99,54 hwt. The total expected annual economic effect constitutes 244 thousand UAH, and economic effect per one cow constitutes 2440 UAH/year.
