Abstract
The article briefly characterizes the state of horse breeding in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). There are special features in breeding of the Yakutian horses. The Yakutian horses stay outdoors all year round and feed mainly on fodder. At present, villagers have started to maximize the number of horses due to the unpretentiousness of their feeding. However, another problem has arisen – due to the sharp increase in horse number there is not enough fodder. To solve this problem, it is proposed to organize mechanical distribution of additional feeding in the form of hay in decentralized areas. When calculating additional feeding norm, the following are taken into account: the required mass of hay, which is determined by the herd and the normative amount of hay per horse; the distance between hay distribution place and storage place, fuel consumption and pasture area. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for forecasting the level of efficiency of herd horse breeding at the mechanized method of hay delivery and distribution by applying a mathematical dependence. It can help in choosing the location and distance for the organization of horse breeding bases in decentralized areas in the conditions of Yakutia. The calculations for preliminary assessment of proposed mathematical dependence efficiency were carried out. The initial data were taken for the existing horse breeding farm – LLC "Horse Farm Berte". The obtained results of forecast calculations have shown that the efficiency of production increases significantly, on average by 56.5% at mechanization of delivery and distribution of additional feeding in decentralized horse-breeding bases. At the farthest horse farm, located 60 km away from the central farmstead, it is possible to increase the number of animals from 145 to 227.
