The technological advancement of preparation of biologically active supplements included in the diet of farm animals demands the search for new design schemes of mixers ensuring the implementation of the introduced, progressive technologies. The analysis of functions and connections is essential to determine the most rational design scheme of the mixer for the preparation of biologically active supplements. The most suitable means of achieving this goal is functional-morphological analysis. During the analysis, the mixer functions were determined and structured according to their relevance: the main and additional ones. The developed functional model of the mixer provides a visual representation of the hierarchy of functions and connections between them. The emerging need to study the elements of the mixer design and their connections are displayed in the developed morphological model of the mixer and the combined functional-morphological model. In the result, alternative structural elements of the mixer have been identified. Their combinations are presented in the morphological matrix of solutions. The technique used allowed us to determine a rational design scheme of the mixer, consisting of an electric drive with a paddle movable object, with the provision of heating of the chamber by U-shaped heating elements. This solution will enable the use of an automatic mixer control system and meet the guidelines of the technological process for the preparation of biologically active supplements.
