Abstract

Management of on-farm processes in animal husbandry with an analogue primary accounting system (acts, journals, statements, certificates, cards, etc.) was carried out using paper, and later electronic reporting forms. In the paper flow of zootechnical accounting, the document contained 70-250 records, the processing and maintenance of which took a lot of time: when entering 25-30 characters per minute, 1.5-2.5 hours; in electronic forms the number of printed characters has been reduced by 5-10 times, or up to 10-20 entries per document per minute. The transition from paper reporting to electronic reporting stabilized the speed of accounting and the number of personnel: 4 accountants were replaced by 1 computer operator, while expanding the database. The digitalization of the electronic calendar as a control element for a “smart” farm is becoming a new stage in optimizing work with document flow. The electronic calendar monitors economic and economic processes, time intervals, problems, automatically generates databases of production processes depending on the “key feature”, for example, the indicator “live weight”: animals that meet the condition С0>Cc, who have collected the necessary live weight, pass to the next production cycle. Mass “С”. Animals С0 = – Cc, that do not meet the requirement, are transferred to the emergency implementation group as economically ineffective for further fattening. The program of cyclical formation of production groups Cij depending on the weighing results, is described by a simulation model U = f(x, p), where U is the state of the modeled component, f are the main functional dependencies, x are variables, p are parameters.
