METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING MICROCLIMATE PARAMETERS IN CATTLE HOUSING

Abstract

This article examines methods for optimizing the microclimate in livestock enterprises. The conducted research includes an analysis of existing approaches, the implementation of automated systems, and experimental calculations.

The results demonstrated significant improvements in microclimate parameters. For example, in the "Shalabay" farm, winter temperatures increased from -2°C to 10°C, humidity decreased from 85% to 65%, and ammonia concentration dropped from 25 ppm to 15 ppm. In the "Prirechnoe" agro-firm, the temperature increased by 9°C, humidity decreased by 30%, and the ammonia level was reduced by 18 ppm.

An economic analysis showed that the payback period for investments ranged from 9 to 10 months. Specifically, in the "Shalabay" farm, an investment of 440,000 tenge paid off within 8 months, generating an additional income of 600,000 tenge due to increased young livestock weight. In the "Prirechnoe" farm, an increase in milk yield of up to 3 liters per cow per day enabled a 950,000 tenge investment to be recouped in 9 months, resulting in an additional profit of 1,260,000 tenge.

The main conclusions indicate that optimizing the microclimate through the use of automated systems contributes to increased animal productivity and improved economic efficiency of farms.
