Experimental Research on the Knife Blades Used to Cutting and Shredding Fibrous Fodder

Abstract

In the process of harvesting fibrous fodder an important and negligible requirement is the appropriate shredding of the fiber feed directly or indirectly into the composition of animal feed, whether it be fresh fodder, high moisture or fodder feed or even dried. The degree of comminution of feeding stuffs decisively influences the speed of assimilation by animals of the administered feed, implicitly their weight gain, the profitability of the respective cattle farm and not only. In the paper are presented the possibilities of technically obtaining a finest shredding of fibrous fodder, especially by using multirow knives in the feed channel of self-loading hay trailer. However, these technical solutions also have certain disadvantages in the daily operation of such machines.

Directions for Using the Bioenergy Potential of Agriculture for the Production of Biomethane and Digestate

“…In particular, before receiving bioethanol from the excise warehouse, the economic entity that receives it [7] issues a tax bill. However, such a bill is issued for the full tax rate, which is 133.31 hryvnias for 1 liter of 100 percent alcohol, which means that the corresponding amount of funds must be at the disposal of the manufacturing company.…”

Experimental Research Regarding the Achievement of an Equipment Designed for Chopping Woody Waste

“…Reducing energy consumption is another objective for which in-depth research is being done, in order to use renewable energy sources instead of conventional ones, which have been used indiscriminately and which can be exhausted, so the planet and the entire humanity would suffer. For these reasons, research is being carried out in all areas that could bring a favourable contribution to the fulfilment of these objectives (Jasinskas et al, 2017;Kopac et al, 2003;Caba, 2019).…”
