Preparation and distribution of forage mix using mobile machinery on four Latvian farms where there are 200 to 430 milk cows have been investigated. For this purpose timekeeping of forage mix preparation and distribution was done and the obtained data were processed. Considering that the situation on every farm is different the processed data were transformed to three assumed farms where 100, 300 and 500 cows can be handled. In the research the most suitable technological versions of forage mix preparation and distribution were determined. It was stated that on every farm with 100-300 cows one of the most suitable technologies is the forage mix preparation and distribution technology applied in the company “Agro Kaķenieki” where for loading of feed a scoop with passive knives is used, but for distribution – a mobile mixer DeLaval-16. Bothe machines are operated by one worker accordingly changing the machinery units. In turn, in barns with 500 cows it is advisable to use a mixer-distributor of self-propelling type Siloking Prestige as it compared to other technological versions ensures time consumption by 12-32 % and work consumption 1.3-2.2 times calculated per ton of the distributed feed.
