The increase of the efficiency of harvesting the non-cereal part of the crop for the preparation of roughage

The presence of roughage in the diet of animals (hay, straw) is necessary for the full feeding of cattle. Since they have high nutritional value, they are necessary due to the physiological characteristics of animals. Straw is a dry stalk obtained after processing cereals and legumes containing high fiber content. It is used to give the diet the necessary volume, or as an additive to diets with a large number of succulent feeds. The rye straw oat, barley are used widely as a litter for animals. It forms a wonderful insulating and blocking layer between the cold, wet floor and the animal. There are several basic technologies for harvesting the non-cereal part of the crop (NPC). The selected cleaning method determines the vintage composition of the harvesting and transport link. Simultaneous harvesting of roughage during the harvesting of grain and cereal crops will reduce the previously spent resources for this operation. A patent search of the analysis of structures and methods for harvesting NPC showed that research is ongoing to improve methods and technical means for harvesting the non-grain part of the crop. This paper considers the issue of combining several technological operations, as well as improving the quality of the harvested non-cereal part of the crop, improving the field culture, since it is not littered with weed seeds. The proposed method in comparison with the known methods of harvesting the non-cereal part of the crop has the following advantages: reduction of operating costs, reduction of time for one operation, reduction of production costs.
