Feed milling for ruminant animals according to demands of organic farming in conditions of the South of Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose. To develop a technique for agro-ecological production of feedstuff for ruminant animals in conditions of bogharic agriculture of the South of Ukraine according to demands of organic farming which will promote deriving of highly nourishing and qualitative vegetable products without pollutants. Methods. Field and laboratory trials. Results. Use of perspective innovative grades of forage grasses and biological preparations promoted an increase of yield of perennial forage grasses, drought-enduring annual forage crops and as a result deriving pollution-free feedstuff. The content harmful matters, pollutants and heavy metals in samples of the gained feedstuff did not exceed maximum concentration limit. Conclusions. The technique of agro-ecological production of feedstuff is developed for ruminant animals according to demands of organic farming in conditions of bogharic agriculture.
