ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL SECTORAL QUESTIONNAIRES FOR DATA COLLECTION DURING THE PREPARATION OF THE BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY "INTENSIVE REARING OF PIGS"
Employees of the laboratory for the development of theoretical foundations of breeding of agricultural animals of the don GAU developed an industry questionnaire for data collection in the preparation of information and technical guide to the best available technologies "Intensive pig breeding" (ITS NDT). The questionnaire was sent to the production enterprises of the Russian Federation, 114 questionnaires were received for processing. The survey revealed the main characteristics of technological processes of pork production, the most common equipment for pork production in the Russian Federation and its technical parameters. Processing of questionnaires showed the share of equipment of different manufacturers/suppliers used in pig farms. It was noted: serial domestic and foreign equipment of the period 70-80-ies of the last century 5,4%, most of the enterprises 94,6% equipped with modern foreign equipment of the following manufacturers / suppliers: "Big Dutchman"- 67,5%, "HARTMANN" - 5,3%, ROXELL - 3,5%, LLC "Creation"- 3,5%, NEOFORS - 3,5%, AGORA - 2,6%, Egeberg Denmark - 2,6% and other companies from 0,9 to 1,9%. The most used supplier of equipment for the pig complex is a foreign company Big Dutchman, which indicates the need to develop a domestic base for the production of technological equipment. Analysis of the technological process of pork production indicates a lack of equipment of enterprises with the necessary best available technologies to improve the favorable level of animal life and reduce the negative impact on the environment, optimal management of material resources, as well as economic and environmental acceptability. Thus, it is necessary to introduce the best available technologies into the production process of pig complexes, and the Handbook of BAT will allow the application of these technologies. As a result of the analysis of technological processes, equipment, technical methods and methods, identified specific solutions that are the best available technologies in industrial pig farming. The resulting Handbook of BAT is an important step in the formation of a list of promising technologies for Russian enterprises for intensive pig breeding.
