EFFICIENT USE OF GRAIN AFTER BAROHYDROTHERMAL PROCESSING IN CATTLE RATIONS
Our studies found that baro-hydrothermal treatment (BHTT) barley and wheat reduces the protein breaking down in the rumen by 33-55 %, which significantly improves the quality of proteins in feed by increasing the efficiency of its use in the organism of animals for productive purposes. The introduction of forage wheat and barley treated by baro-hydrothermal method to the diet of dairy cows in the milking period in the amount of 20-65 % from the weight of the feed (or from 1.5 to 3.8 kg per head per day) can increase milk productivity (4 % milk fat) at 8,1.17,4 % compared with the native grain use. Using BHTT grain in rations of intensively fed calves aged 8.11 months in the amount of 60 % by weight of the combined fodder weight (or 1.6 kg per head per day) increases the average daily weight gain for 16.2 %.
