Machinery & Energetics

At the present stage of livestock development, both in world practice and in Ukraine, combined feed preparation units for feed preparation, which combine the operations of shredding and mixing, and also provide delivery and dosage of feed distribution, are becoming increasingly popular. Their positive features are mobility, ease of design and cost-effectiveness. All this is a matter of considerable interest in these machines from specialists of farms with developed livestock of various forms of ownership. Abroad, such machines are called TMR mixer, which in English means - full-time mixers. The technology of feed preparation for feeding in such aggregates involves the minimum production of the initial components (before crushing and mixing), which is able to provide a satisfactory quality of the preparation of feed mixtures. Comparing the recipe of the diet of European countries and Ukraine indicates that in our country cattle feed more long-fiber feed that is not pre-crushed. Such a feed mixture often forms stagnant areas in the bin. In Ukraine, today, the main problems of farms keeping cattle are not significant provision of production processes for the preparation and distribution of feeds by technical means. Therefore, the question arises about the development of new technical solutions that will ensure the competitiveness of livestock products obtained on the farm of cattle.
