IMPROVING THE METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING PRODUCTION FUNCTIONS IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY USING A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH

Abstract

The article discusses the need to use production function as the main characteristic of results the activities of agricultural enterprises. Modeling the production function for assessing production efficiency and making optimal management decisions was carried out on basis of an analysis of various types adaptation the production function and collected materials on activities of agricultural enterprises. The use of mathematical modeling helps to identify and describe the most important, significant relationships of economic objects and to evaluate production parameters. Production functions are used as an effective tool that allows you to carry out analytical calculations, determine the efficiency of resource use and the possibility of their additional involvement in production, predict output volumes and control the reality of planned projects. A technique for creating a dynamic production function has been developed. Also taken into account the probabilistic laws of distribution of arguments and incomplete statistical information on the parameters of agricultural production. This technique allows solving problems of estimating the parameters of complex classes production functions and represents complex economic processes, except for replacement of some factors with others. In particular, production functions in meat production were created and analyzed, which made it possible to determine the optimal weight of animal and ptimal diet. It is proved that when processing experimental data and conducting statistical analysis, special attention was paid to methods most suitable for study of agricultural sciences, since agronomical engineers are not very familiar with the concept of production function and economic principles that determine the maximization of profits and minimization production and production costs. The document proves that it is economically feasible to find a competitive production option at enterprise and calculate the marginal feed efficiency, marginal substitution rates and isoclines – values that are the result of continuous production functions. In particular, production functions in meat production were created and analyzed, which made it possible to determine the optimal weight of animal and optimal diet.
