Abstract

Insufficient financing of agricultural enterprises leads to a relatively slow renovation of production means and the modernization of production processes. Machinery and equipment of cattle farms are worn by 80-100%, their service life exceeding 10 years. As a result, the cost of their maintenance, and, consequently, the cost of milk produced, grows. Using an example of the Zimnitsky dairy farm of the Bryansk region operating 156 heads, the author proposed to replace equipment and mechanization means according to three main technological processes: feed distribution, milk storage, and manure removal from the farm. The KT-6 trailed feed feeder-mixer was replaced with a more modern and productive model KTУ-10A. For the process of primary processing and storage of milk on the farm, the horizontal milk cooler tank of the open type РО-2.5 was substituted with a tank from the Wedholms company. To remove manure from the farm, the author suggested replacing the ТСН-2.0Б conveyor with a transporter scraper ТСН-160 equipped with a conveyor belt. According to the design version of the equipment, the number of workers can be reduced by 6 people, which will reduce the payroll budget by 1,061.3 thousand rubles. In addition, depreciation and electricity costs can be decreased. The total savings in operating costs will amount to 1,144.5 thousand rubles. The labor intensity of milk production will decrease by 0.62 man-hours per cent, which will lead to an increase in labor productivity by 1.31 centners per person-hour. The payback period of capital investments on new equipment in the amount of 893.5 thousand rubles is expected to be approximately one year if the savings in operating costs are taken as the amount of additional profit with other things being equal.
