Abstract

Optimizing the microclimate in livestock complexes is an important aspect that directly affects the health and productivity of animals. The article examines mathematical models that allow effective management of temperature regimes, humidity and concentration of harmful gases in livestock premises. The key factors affecting the creation of comfortable conditions for animals, including the effectiveness of ventilation, heating and air humidity management systems, were studied. One of the main tasks is to maintain a stable temperature in the room, which must be adapted to the external weather conditions. With the help of mathematical models, the relationship between the temperature of the external environment and the internal conditions of the room was analyzed. The models allow predicting temperature changes depending on seasonal fluctuations and settings of heating systems, which ensures the optimal temperature regime for animals. Particular attention is paid to moisture management, as excess or lack of moisture can cause disease or reduce animal productivity. The methods of  regulating the level of humidity in the premises using various technologies that ensure a stable microclimate are highlighted. In addition, the article considers the optimization of ventilation, which helps to reduce the concentration of harmful gases, such as ammonia and carbon dioxide. Ventilation systems, in particular intelligent ones, are able to effectively remove these gases from the room, thereby reducing their concentration to a safe level. On the basis of the constructed mathematical models, an  analysis of the effectiveness of various microclimate optimization methods and their impact on animal productivity was carried out. The results show that the use of modern technologies for microclimate management can significantly improve the  conditions of keeping animals, reducing the level of morbidity and increasing productivity.The article is an important step towards the implementation of scientific approaches in agricultural practice, as it provides an opportunity to predict and effectively regulate the conditions of animal husbandry, which is the basis for the stable  development of animal husbandry.
