Abstract

The existing and currently used technical devices for carrying out operations of bonitation and artificial insemination of sheep are metal-intensive and bulky structures. An installation for bonitization, veterinary care and artificial insemination of small cattle with a neck retainer was designed at the Zhangir Khan West Kazakhstan Agrarian and Technical University. The article describes an installation consisting of a frame, a lifting mechanism with a rotary axis. The countertop frame is raised to the required height by means of a screw mechanism and a rotation lever. The versatility of the installation when performing veterinary care operations is ensured by the possibility of lifting and rotating the table top frame on the rack around the axis of the bracket using a rotary mechanism. To ensure the immobility of the animal, a neck retainer is attached to the installation. To substantiate the design parameters of the installation, anatomical measurements of animals of the same age group were carried out and average values were determined. Taking into account the average results of measurements of animal parameters, experimental installations were manufactured and tested on the basis of the veterinary clinic of the West Kazakhstan Agrarian and Technical University named after Zhangir Khan. The test plan included the determination of the functional capabilities of the installation and chronometric measurements of the bonitation operations: determination of the type of animal; color; density; length and quality of wool; equalization of the fleece; the size and shape of the kurdyuk; live weight with animals recorded on the experimental installation and the average obtained average values are given. The technology of artificial insemination operation by the proposed installation is described. Production tests of the proposed installations have shown wide versatility, ease of operation, good functional qualities, according to veterinary specialists, allow additional sampling of animal blood for analysis, vaccination and immunization of animals.
