Abstract

Introduction. The article substantiates the relevance of scientific developments aimed at ensuring the safety of live poultry in the process of its transportation to slaughter by road transport. The concept of safety of live cargo transportation is explained in accordance with the current legislation. In calculations the concept of effective temperature as a correct measure of the studied parameter is used. The dependence of broiler chicken lost in the process of transportation on the duration of their delivery to the slaughterhouse at different effective ambient temperature is established. The non-uniformity of temperature distribution inside the body of a moving poultry car in the warm season has been proved, that allows to develop recommendations on improving the safety of transported poultry.

Materials and methods. Analysis of regulatory and legal, scientific literature, statistical, technical and economic analysis of motor transport service of poultry complex, instrumental measurements.

Results. Possessing scientific novelty: the dependence of the number of broiler chickens lost in the process of transportation on the duration of their delivery to the slaughterhouse at different effective temperature of the environment, as well as the graph of temperature deviations inside the body of the poultry truck from the effective temperature of the environment in the warm season; - having practical significance: the amount of damage to the growing livestock by the loss of cargo due to delays in the movement of the poultry truck.

Discussion and conclusions. The set tasks have been executed completely, resulting in received methodical recommendations on increasing the safety of live poultry during transportation by automobile transport. Implementation of the proposed recommendations will ensure decrease of poultry losses during transportation to slaughter by 15%.
