Determination of the holding capacity of the mixer used in the fattening of pigs with the help of the method of calculation can be made on the basis of different approaches to the calculation. The article discusses the various options of measurement and the original method of calculating of the holding capacity of the mixer for liquid feeding of pigs is suggested. The analysis of the results shows that the relative difference in determining the holding capacity of feed mixer composes 14%, depending on whether the density is taken into account in the calculations. A more significant difference is about 36%, there by taking into account the number of animals in the calculations. By increasing of the humidity of the fodder up to 15% holding capacity of the mixer increases of 2.1 times, but the greatest change of holding capacity of the mixer - 7 times - is due to the amount of feed times. A significant reduction of the holding capacity of the mixer because of the increased number of feedings is not possible without the use of automated control systems.
