SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF R&D IN MECHANIZATION AND AUTOMATION OF LIVESTOCK FARMING

Abstract

At the present stage, the Machine System must once again fulfill the role of a system-forming factor in the development of agricultural machinery and agriculture in general, in order to properly target and combine the efforts of scientists, designers, and test engineers to create new domestic import-substituting and high-performance equipment. In the livestock industries of Russia and Belarus, there is a high import dependence on machinery and equipment, especially for large dairy farms: Karusel milking parlors, self-propelled feed mixers, equipment for processing and preparing manure for use, milking robots, etc., which makes the problem of their reproduction and the creation of domestic analogues within the Union State urgent. The research was carried out in order to develop scientific, methodological, organizational and technical measures for the development of R&D and the creation of a joint Russian-Belarusian machine System for animal husbandry and agriculture in general. After analyzing Rosstat data on the production of machinery and equipment for animal husbandry and the main R&D problems, system solutions were proposed related to the development and creation of high-tech equipment, electronic, electrical and optical components, specialized interdisciplinary laboratories for robotics and artificial intelligence technologies, etc. As a result of segmentation and detailing of the existing structure of the Machine System, the level of technological import dependence of the industry is proposed, showing the ratio of machines and aggregates produced in Russia and Belarus to the total number of machines produced for the development of the industry, including imports. Based on the mathematical apparatus of set theory and the algebra of logic, mathematical models are proposed for building a unified system of machines that reduce the common elements repeated in it and the total cost of its development, creation and development in production by strengthening coordination and concentration of research and development on the most important and relevant areas of import substitution in the livestock and agriculture sectors in general.
