Small universal unit for preparing, transporting and distributing liquid feed in small pig farms

Abstract

The article focuses on the advantage of liquid mixed feeds in the use of mixed feeds for small farms and farms. The analysis of the scientific research works devoted to the problems of transportation and distribution of liquid mixed feed using pipelines showed that the physical and mechanical and rheological properties of such feeds have not been fully studied, and special feed pumps designed for the transfer of liquid mixed feeds with high viscosity have not been created. The article describes the structure and principle of operation of the small-sized liquid mixed feed preparation, transfer and distribution unit created by the authors. All equipment included in the unit has been modernized considering the peculiarities of small farms. Based on the results of the study, the necessary conclusions were drawn.
