STUDY OF MANURE REMOVAL SYSTEMS, THEIR OPERATION MODE AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THE PROCESS OF MANURE REMOVAL BY COST ELEMENTS ON MILK PRODUCTION FARMS AND COMPLEXES

Abstract

The use of a particular method and equipment for manure removal from the premises for cattle depends on the technology of animal housing, layout of the premises, 199 space-planning solution of the farm or complex, as well as the availability of bedding materials. The paper contains the data of research aimed at studying the methods and mechanical means of manure removal, the mode of their operation, as well as the energy analysis of the manure removal process on milk production farms and complexes. The work was carried out at commercial dairy farms and complexes of different capacities: SE “ZhodinoAgroPlemElita” in Smolevichi district (SPF “Budagovo”, CDF “Zhazhelka”, CDC “Berezovitsa”, CDC “Rassoshnoye”), CDC “Ustensky” located in RPUE “Ustye” of NAS of Belarus in Orsha district. It has been established that the technology for removing manure from livestock buildings by stationary means using scraper units of cyclic action and pumping equipment is more effective than bulldozer manure removal, has lower energy costs and material consumption, does not require the use of liquid fuel, allows you to fully automate the process of manure removal and perform it in accordance with environmental protection requirements.
