Abstract

This paper analyzes the technological and organizational features of conducting zoo veterinary treatments of sheep on farms and cooperatives in the mountainous regions of the Kyrgyz Republic. The influence of the spatial fragmentation of farms, the small number of sheep, and the seasonality of production processes on the efficiency of using stationary zoo veterinary treatment units is studied. The limitations of existing stationary processing lines associated with their high metal consumption, low mobility, and insufficient adaptation to the conditions of grazing sheep are identified. The principles of organizing mobile service units performing a range of zoo veterinary operations based on the "equipment to animals" principle directly in areas where sheep congregate are studied. A mathematical description of the functioning of the mobile unit is developed based on the theory of aggregate systems and elements of queueing theory for analyzing the interaction of process units. Probabilistic patterns of the arrival of groups of sheep for processing and parameters for coordinating the performance of the process sections of the unit are established. A structural model of the technological process has been developed, including the steps of shearing, grading, vaccination, anti-scab bathing, and primary wool processing. A design and process flow diagram for a mobile unit with dismountable and portable equipment and an autonomous power supply from a low-pressure microhydroelectric power station has been proposed. Analytical and empirical relationships have been developed for calculating the main design parameters and operational characteristics of the unit. The use of a sorption method for disinfecting spent acaricidal solutions using brown coal from local deposits, ensuring the environmental safety of the technological process, is justified.
