The article examines the existing technologies and facilities for the preparation of soybeans for feeding animals, and de-veloped a technological line of preparation of high-protein feed based on soybean. The design of a chopper for soaked soybeans, working on the proposed technology has been pre-sented

In this article we consider the analysis of structures of technical means used for the preparation and distribution of animal feed and develop a distributor-chopper, which allows distributing it while milling. The classification is designed for feeders; we also give economic and mathematical model and a constructively technical scheme of a distributor-chopper on its basis

An original design of a piston press, performing material pressing, due to case design tapered piston and the matrix, has been proposed for the first time

We have presented an analysis of hardware designs for preparation and distribution of animal foods and also developed the economical and the mathematical model of the process of preparation and distribution of food. We have developed a constructive-technological scheme of distribution chopper and a theoretical justification of the parameters of the distribution chopper

We have offered a constructive flow sheet of a root cleaner. Theoretical and experimental studies of roots purification process have been performed. We have also substantiated the main structural and regime pa-rameters of the proposed cleaner

We have proposed a cutting segment for commercially available feeders; we have also presented the design scheme of the cutting edges and the angle of segment installation on a working body

To increase the productivity of the cattle it is demanded simultaneous distribution of all types of animal feed in the form of balanced feed mixture with a given nutritional value. Balanced feeding of animals can improve their productivity, reduce feed wastage, and include alternative components of feed mixtures in their diets, which have nourishing properties and high digestibility; make and adjust feeding rations. Researches conducted by Russian and foreign scientists, proved the prospects of full feeding of complete feed mixtures, which allow to increase the productivity of animals to 9-30 % and reduce the feed consumption in the calculation of 1 с of milk by 7-8 %. The composition of complete feed mixtures includes sunflower cake, silage, root crops and forage. The process of preparation and distribution of feeds for large horned livestock is the issue of all the necessary components of the feed mixture with a given nutritional value. Saturation of the feed product with extra energy goes during its interaction with the working bodies of technical means for preparation and distribution (TMPD) of different types of food. For preparation and distribution of components of the feed mixture it is necessary to have following facilities, provided with reducing energy intensity and improving the qualitative indicators of processes: for grinding beet fodder and sunflower cake we need disk shredders; for shredding silage and roughage – bearnie and rotor shredders, respectively; for dispensing of beet fodder and sunflower cake – belt conveyor, for dispensing silage and roughage we use disc and drum dispensers, respectively; for mixing sunflower cake - rotary mixers, and for silage, beet fodder and for-age we may use paddle mixers; for distribution of sunflower cake we use rotary feeders, for silage and beet fodder – bin distributors, and for coarse feed we should use conveyor dispensers

The authors have developed and manufactured a large number of different designs of relative helical drums for mixing animal feed. We have conducted 749 field experiments with the drums of the 10 different designs with different parameters modes of operation. In all experiments, we measured the quality of the feed mixture. However, directly based on empirical data, rational choice of design features and parameters of the operation modes of the reels is not possible. For this, you must first develop a model reflecting these empirical data. The construction of meaningful analytical models of different types of drums is a difficult and demanding scientific task, the complexity of which is due to the large variety and complexity of forms of drums and their mode of usage, a large number of diverse physical factors affecting the processes in the drum. As a consequence, the development of analytical models associated with a large number of simplifying assumptions that reduce their versatility and reliability. Therefore, it is important to search of a mathematical method and software tools provide a quick and simple for the user to identify and influence the design of the drum and the parameters of the operating modes on the quality of the feed mixture directly on the basis of empirical (experimental) data. The work proposes a solution to this problem with the use of a new universal innovative method of artificial intelligence: automated system-cognitive analysis (ASC-analysis) and its programmatic Toolkit – universal cognitive analytical system called "Eidos". In the system of "Eidos" we have implemented a software interface that provides direct input into the system large amounts of empirical data from Excel file. Created on their basis in the system of "Eidos" system-cognitive model allows the visual form to reflect the effect of the structure of the drum and the parameters of the operating modes on the quality of the resulting feed mixture and to develop on this basis the science-based and appropriate recommendations for the rational choice of design features and parameters of the modes relative to the screw drums. We have also given a numerical example

A complete balanced feed mixture includes sunflower cake, silage, beet fodder and roughage that have nutritional value. For preparation and their distribution it is necessary to have the following facilities under provided with reducing energy intensity and improving the qualitative indicators of processes: for the grinding of sunflower cake and beet fodder we need disk shredder plate with a knife, which makes a shock-centrifugal effect on them; silage and roughage – bearnie in which the cylindrical beater with knives and rotary blade rotor with paired cutting knives, respectively, which perform shock-centrifugal influence on them; for dispensing sunflower cake and beet fodders required automatic volumetric dispensers batch cookers operating on open cycle with the working body of the belt; silage and roughage – automatic volumetric dispensers batch cookers operating on open cycle with disc and drum working body, respectively; to mix sunflower cake – universal, mobile rotary mixer with blades periodic operation portion short-term and multi-stage batch mixing in which the material makes circular motions with a high speed of circulation; beet fodder, roughage – universal, mobile paddle mixers with blades of valencianos form of the periodic portion short-term and multi-stage batch mixing in which the material performs a stochastic motion of particles; silage – universal mobile paddle mixers periodic action of short-term and multi-stage batch mixing in which the material makes circular motions with a high speed of circulation of the blades of valencianos form; for distribution of silage and beet fodder – mobile, been feeders with mechanical loading of the feed ration in which the trays with the milling devices; sunflower cake and roughage – mobile, rotary and conveyor feeders with mechanized loading of the feed ration in which the front rotor with a horizontal axis of rotation and the conveyor of the milling devices, respectively
