V knige dany osnovy teorii ekonomicheski optimal'nogo (ekonomicheski nailuchshego) avtomatizirovannogo upravleniya sel'skokhozyaystvennymi tekhnologicheskimi proizvodstvennymi protsessami, preimushchestvenno v zhivotnovodstve i ptitsevodstve, i privedeny sovremennye nauchno-tekhnicheskie varianty ikh avtomatizatsii. Osnovnoe vnimanie udeleno matematicheskomu modelirovaniyu protsessov, kotorye vpolne mogut upravlyat'sya avtomatami po tekhniko-ekonomicheskomu priznaku (po kriteriyu, po pokazatelyu), i sozdaniyu novykh tekhnicheskikh resheniy perspektivnykh avtomaticheskikh i avtomatizirovannykh informatsionnykh i elektrotekhnicheskikh sistem i tekhnologiy v zhivotnovodstve, v ptitsevodstve i v sel'skom khozyaystve v tselom. Pokazany novye metody razrabotki ekonomicheski optimal'noy i energeticheski ratsional'noy avtomatizatsii mnogikh energeticheskikh protsessov v sel'skom khozyaystve, v tom chisle obogreva i kormleniya zhivotnykh i ptitsy. Dlya nauchnykh rabotnikov i inzhenerov, zanimayushchikhsya avtomatizatsiey zhivotnovodstva i ptitsevodstva, a takzhe dlya studentov agrotekhnicheskikh inzhenernykh spetsial'nostey, kotorye svyazany s elektrooborudovaniem, avtomatikoy, informatsionnymi i elektrotekhnicheskimi sistemami i tekhnologiyami v sel'skokhozyaystvennoy energetike.
