Abstract

The object of the study is the rate of return on investment equipment in dairy cattle using modular technological innovation. Through simulation analysis are developed technology modules for equipment for dairy farms in terms of expanded reproduction and levels of milk production at existing mid-market prices. The study covers three times multiplier to the modular principle. Аre respected principles of good agricultural practices in dairy farms. Necessary equipment is designed based on the quantities necessary feed for milk and necessary machinery for fertilizer management sector. All variants were evaluated statistically processed in the middle of the software product Excel.
It was found that under the influence of the factor milk production is determined (R2  = 0.749) and hight significant (P<0.001). Size of herd determines unstable dynamics of return on investment in the range 11.5 ÷ 5.0 years.
Herds of up to 30 dairy cows, realize low rates of return on investment and are non-competitive in the current economic environment.
