Abstract: In accordance with the legal requirements, livestock agricultural organizations are obliged to have at least two organic effluent accumulators on the balance sheet and store manure for up to 12 months, depending on its origin (cattle, pork) and fraction (solid, liquid). The management of agricultural organizations, by building and operating a larger number of storage devices, but with a smaller specific (and total) capacity, has the opportunity to obtain significant savings on capital and subsequent current operating costs. The discounted value of the designated costs is the economic effect received by the agricultural organization. Savings on capital expenditures are achieved due to the fact that they are mainly based on earthworks, which are (conditionally) variable expenses in their economic essence. The construction of a larger number of storage units with a smaller dedicated capacity significantly expands the possibilities of operational management of the formation and distribution of organic effluents, significantly reducing the likelihood of penalties from the controlling authorities (Rosprirodnadzor).
