Current state and development prospects of domestic equipment for sheep and goat breeding

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the machinery equipment of Russian sheep and goat breeding. The absence of Russian-made equipment for the main processes, such as keeping, drinking, distributing feed, and milking sheep and goats, has been revealed. The existing domestic projects for the mechanization of processes in sheep breeding exist in the form of prototypes, however, there are no projects in goat breeding. Therefore, proposals have been formulated to solve the problems of the provision of sheep and goat farms with Russian equipment. The essence of these proposals is the need for state support for the equipment development and production. The engineering and manufacture of process equipment for sheep and goat breeding should be based on the experience of effective use of foreign equipment in the conditions of domestic enterprises.
