FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method involves accumulating manure for predetermined time period, followed with loading and transportation of manure. Manure is accumulated simultaneously with loading and subsequent transportation in replaceable vessels mountable in storages. Manure accumulation time period is determined from ratio of replaceable vessel volume and daily volume of manure accumulated from stock of animals serviced by said vessel. Total number of vessels exceeds by one number of vessels mounted in storage. Upon removal of loaded vessel from storage, it is replaced with empty vessel. Said means include animal houses with slotted floors and underground storage in the form of inclined underground cellar and descends, and vehicle. Vehicle is formed as drive chassis with set including at least two replaceable vessels-bodies with supporting rollers for movement over storage floor, and mechanism for replacement and unloading of said vessels. Vessels are positioned in underground, with approaching end being disposed at side adjoining underground head end of inclined part of underground cellar. In case two or more vessels are positioned in underground storage, slotted floors are furnished with additional shields positioned above sites where vessels are contacting with each other.
