The work aimed to develop advanced technology in dairy cattle breeding using robotic milking of cows for the production of high-quality milk and dairy raw materials. The research was conducted on an array of low-capacity enterprises, including farms of the NAAS Network (annual production of up to 20 thousand tons of milk). The possibility of a modular increase in the use of individual elements of robotic milking technology during its extension is analyzed and the main standard size is determined – 100-150 cows. An array of statistical and empirical data is processed, individual elements of the phenomenon under study are studied in detail on the example of specific objects, and parameters of milk production under certain conditions are developed and determined. The theoretical and methodological basis was official materials of the statistics department, legislative and regulatory acts of state authorities on the development of the agro-industrial complex, works of domestic and foreign scientists on the development of the agricultural sector. Determination of the rational level of the number of cattle, dairy productivity of cows and production parameters of the farm when using robotic cow milking technology is carried out based on monitoring the possibilities of using milking equipment (robot) in the conditions of various technological solutions. The rational technology of keeping cows and the level of their productivity – 7.5-8.0 thousand kg of milk per year-are justified, and the limits of the required average costs for a farm using robotic milking are determined. By certain parameters, the rational structure of the herd and its total number are justified. These indicators made it possible to establish the parameters of feed production and feed supply for the milk production enterprise by the established level of cow productivity, as well as to calculate the natural indicators of resource consumption and the required level of investment. In particular, the total demand for feed with the insurance fund is 20.9 thousand C of feed units., including mixed feed – 9.3 thousand centers of feed units. (of these, grain is 8.0 thousand centers of feed units), juicy-3.6 thousand C feed units., rough-5.0 thousand rubles. C feed units., green-2.6 thousand C feed units., animals – 0.4 thousand centers of feed. units. The total annual amount of revenue from the sale of dairy cattle products is 9072 thousand UAH. with the specified total cost of milk and beef in live weight, the total profit can be 3249 thousand UAH per year. Under these conditions, the level of profitability of dairy cattle production is 55.8 %.
The results of monitoring and analysis of production and organisational indicators of more than 50 farms have been presented, identifying the main elements that characterise them. There have been covered the main principles of forming the system of technology parameters, the directions of minimizing the determining conditions that negatively affect the production process. It has been explained that enlargement of farms with 50-100 cows considerably raises the technological level of milk production and storage. There were determined the parameters of technological and technical solutions of the enterprises with the number of cows from 50 to 120 heads. There were determined limits of parameters limitation, produced energy efficiency was evaluated and modelled on the example of minimal size (50 cows with annual productivity from 7000 kg to 9000 kg of milk per head). The structure of energy intensity of production was calculated by types - milk, live weight of culled animals, gain of breeding animals received brood. The energy intensity of excrement and litter has been taken into account. It was calculated that the highest proportion in the structure of the energy content of products appropriate for feeding belongs to the energy content of milk produced - 85.7-88.6 %, and since it was the most influential factor in the coefficients of energy efficiency of the main and general products, the functional correlations of the energy content of products and fat were determined. The influence of changes in qualitative indicators of other types of products on energy consumption in production was calculated namely fatness of culled cattle and animals from which growth was obtained. The functional determined correlations allow us to form the key elements of the cattle breeding production system interrelations, taking into account the peculiarities of a particular system of parameters, determine the energy efficiency of technological processes, and influence effectively the use of all kinds of resources.
The constructional mechanisms of interrelations related to separate systems belonging to the production of livestock products on the principles of bioeconomy were substantiated, systematized and, accordingly, schematically defined. Monitoring and generalization of the specifics of the existing logistics systems in the production of livestock products on the example of farms in the Kharkiv region and research farms of the NAAS network and evaluating the features of their operation. It is established that the increase in production capacity causes a corresponding increase in technological equipment, which leads to more efficient use of labor, energy and other material resources. The analysis of the grouping data confirmed the fact and recorded a clear trend of increasing the productivity of cows while reducing the cost of 1 quintal of milk with increasing the production capacity of enterprises, including cows. Thus, the average milking for a cow increased from 4282 kg in the first group to 8493 kg in the fifth, with a corresponding increase in the average annual number of cows from 152 to 1216 heads. At the same time, the cost of 1 quintal of milk decreased by 10%. The low rate of reduction in the cost of milk compared to an increase in productivity of cows in 2 times due to an increase, above all, variable costs in increasing the capacity of enterprises. It is established that there are three main mechanisms of organization of livestock production on the principles of innovative bioeconomy: situational response, situational reform, and implementation of systemic reforms. The calculations made it possible to assess the structure of resource costs by species and draw conclusions about the functioning of livestock production mechanisms depending on the type of enterprise, and the effectiveness of management actions - on the performance of gross production, its cost and sales revenue.
