In the process of market transformation in the Ukrainian economy, the agrarian sector has been replenished with a large number of agroformations of various types of management. Among them, today the agricultural sector of the family type is of prime importance, the simplest form of which is personal peasant farms (OSG). In modern conditions, OSG is a structural element of the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine and plays an important role in the production of agricultural products. They remain a stabilizing link of the economy, which compensates for the decline in agricultural production in individual agrarian enterprises, provides food needs of the population and generates cash incomes of the peasants. According to the statistical report "Agriculture of Ukraine", in 2017, private peasant farms produced more than 90% of potatoes grown in the country, 75% of vegetables, almost 60% of milk, more than 65% of beef and about 60% of pork. World experience shows that the basis of the agrarian sector of developed market economies is family farms. In Ukraine, today, the main problems of a family farmer in livestock production are not significant provision of production processes by technical means and a lack of market knowledge. Therefore, the question arises the development of new technical solutions that will ensure the competitiveness of livestock products obtained in family farms.
