Purchase of agricultural machinery meeting the biosecurity requirements in the livestock farm

Mr. Musov applied with a project under Selection Procedure № BG06RDNP001-4.008 “Targeted admission for farmers in the Livestock sector” under sub-measure 4.1 “Investments in agricultural holdings” of measure 4 “Investments in tangible assets” of the Rural Development Program for the period 2014-2020, for the purchase of specialized agricultural machinery and equipment serving a cow farm with a capacity of 100 bovine animals. The subject of the investment covers biosecurity of the farm - a set of management and physical measures that reduce the risk of penetration, development and spread of animal diseases and last but not least, getting quality milk. The working conditions and the microclimate on the farm will be significantly improved. The investment aims to directly improve the conditions of animal husbandry, ie. increasing the comfort and hygiene of breeding, nutrition, which will significantly contribute to reducing disease and increasing productivity. Investing in assets described in Table 1 of the BP is imperative, as currently the basic cleaning is done by hand, which on the one hand, it is very labor-intensive and time-consuming, and workers enter the farm, leading to the penetration and spread of animal diseases. The capacity of machinery and equipment - subject of the investment is fully consistent with the capacity of the farm, and the crops that are entirely and only for animal feed, income from the crop sector is not generated. The introduction and operation of machinery will lead to: • daily cleaning and sanitation inside and outside the farm; • reducing the access of outsiders to the farm; • loading and unloading activities by groups of feed - concentrated, bales of hay; .feed independence.
