Development of the automated system of control of the process of animal forage production

The paper considers the automated system of attracting and processing of locusts in a feeding ground for fish and birds. In the system the selective electromagnetic radiation in the optical range, the parameters of which are calculated on the basis of information quality criteria of the optical-electronic systems are used to attract insects, while for forage mass infrared camera drying is used. The estimation of the productivity of installation, confirming its economic efficiency is given.
