Kokhana T. Efficiency of energy expenditures in husbandry

Object of research: process of the use of power resources in dairy cattle farming. Purpose of research: development of recommendations and a set of measures on raising the power resources efficiency in dairy cattle farming and increase of energy branch on the whole. Methods: abstract- logical, monographic, statistical-economical, graphic, cartographical, sociological, logical. Theoretical and practical results: theoretical results enriched the science with new theoretical and methodological approaches that solve general and specific problems of raising the power resources efficiency in dairy cattle farming. The practical results are determinated by a number of developed recommendations and proposals for resolving general and specific problems of raising the power resources efficiency in dairy cattle farming. Scientific novelty: for the first time it has been developed the procedure of energy analysis for production and technologic processes in dairy cattle farming; it has been suggested the methodological approach for estimating the energetic balance of a dairy far; the main economic instruments for efficient regulation of power consumption have been grounded; the meanings of energy consumption products, a set of indeces for determination power resources efficiency in dairy cattle farming and the procedure of establishing the rational energy rates of the use of non-traditional energy resouces in dairy cattle farming have been specified; the theoretical principles of the energetic efficiency of dairy farming industry, methodological approaches of modeling the energy demands in dairy cattle industryand recommendations on improvement the economic interrelationships in dairy production sub-complex of AIC(Agricultural Industrial Complex) have been further developed. Level of introduction: the research results have been used by the Main Agricultural and Foodstuffs Department of Lviv Region State Administration, Zhovkva and Kamyanka-Buzka Agricultural and Foodstuffs District Department of Lviv Region State Administration for introduction of optimum feed rations for dairy herd from energetic point of view using the low energy consuming fodder, ”Stremilche” Farm in Radekhiv District of Lviv Region for introduction the the technological processes of milk production, LTD “Agronaftoproduct” in Zhovkva District of Lviv Region for improvement the system of oil products storage. Efficiency: the research results substantiate the concepts of raising the efficiency of energy consumption in dairy cattle farming on the basis of fulfillment of technological, organizational and economic approaches. Field, area of implementation: agricultural economics and AIC, dairy cattle farming.
