Results of machinery ring establishment and the use of machinery for hay preparation in an upland region

Abstract

Results of activities on improvement of livestock feeds preparation practices in western Serbia region are presented in this paper. Main achievements are obtained by farmers education and introduction and involvement of specialized machinery for hilly regions in practice. Most of machinery was specialized for quick hay and grass silage preparation. For this purpose six groups of farmers were established. The farmers were trained and registered for operating machinery. They also were obliged to maintain and properly use machinery, as well as train other farmers. Results of these processes during the first year are presented. Enlargement of initially formed groups is expected, along with achievement of full sustainability of machinery rings further work.

U radu su prikazani rezultati aktivnosti koje su preduzete u nekim delovima zapadne Srbije, sa izrazilo ekstenzivnom stočarskom proizvodnjom, na unapređenju mera i postupaka pripreme stočne hrane. Unapređenja su postignuta edukacijom farmera i uvođenjem u primenu većeg broja mašina namenjenih za rad u brdsko-planinskom području. Mašine su namenjene za uvođenje postupaka brze pripreme sena i pripreme travne silaže u balama. Za tu svrhu je u regionu osnovano šest grupu farmera koji su, kao obučeni i ovlašćeni rukovaoci, prihvatili obavezu primene mašina, pravilne eksploatacije i održavanja, kao i obuke drugih farmera za rad. Ovde su prikazani rezultali praćenja rada mašina i grupa farmera tokom prve sezone primene. Nakon ovoga se očekuje proširenje postojećih grupa daljim ulaganjem samih farmera, registrovanje mašinskih prstenova i postizanje održivosti i samostalnosti rada udruženja.
