Rationing of material costs in the technical service of animal husbandry

Abstract

The diversification of the development of animal husbandry in Belarus, and especially its dairy sector, imposes additional requirements for the efficient and rational use of material resources. In the republic and abroad, many scientific articles are published on the issues of resource conservation, rationing and saving of raw materials, materials, fuel and energy. However, the necessary modern scientifically based standards for the needs of the livestock industry in spare parts and materials are currently extremely insufficient. The existing standards either have not found proper practical application in modern production conditions, or are completely outdated and can no longer be applied in the current conditions of rapidly developing market relations. The development of progressive standards for the maintenance and repair of livestock equipment from the point of view of scientific cost rationing practices is a necessary and relevant topic. The current level of development of industrial technologies dictates high requirements for the reliability of machines and equipment as a result of their efficient and economical operation. It is based on the mandatory use of the latest means of control and adjustment of technological equipment and requires a comprehensive approach to solving engineering and technical problems. This problem is particularly relevant for the livestock industry, as here the operating costs of equipment are up to 18 %, and in the dairy sector of livestock, the operating costs of machinery and equipment along the entire chain: from the livestock farm to the processing plant and to the sales counter, can exceed 20% in the cost of final products. In this study, the material costs of technical services in animal husbandry are determined by several normative-forming factors, using the methods of multivariate regression analysis, dependencies are established based on the categories of complexity for maintenance and repair by groups of machines and equipment used in animal husbandry. A clear justification is given for the use of the developed standards in the maintenance of livestock equipment in order to save material resources on livestock farms and in complexes in today's conditions.
