Abstract

Abstract. Goal: on the basis of the veterinary and laboratory diagnostics department with a testing laboratory, surveillance studies of fodder of vegetable origin from different manufacturers were carried out for the following indicators: urease activity, mass content of soluble protein. An experiment on the activity of urease in full-fat soybean feed was also performed. To assess the quality of heat treatment of soybeans and products of its processing, to analyze the stability of the parameter of urease in fodder soybeans. Methods. These studies were performed in accordance with GOST 13979.9-69; GOST 13979.3-68. Results. As a result of statistical processing, it was revealed that over the past five years, urease activity was above the maximum permissible value in 33 % of feed samples. In some samples of soybeans, this indicator was exceeded by 2.6 times, in the experimental sample of soybeans – by 5.8 times. It was also experimentally confirmed that this indicator is a stable parameter. Additionally, studies of the cumulative mass content of soluble proteins were conducted in these samples. It was found that in 13 % of soybean samples and its processed products, the result of soluble protein was in the range of 68.20–74.50 %, which indicates excessive heat treatment of this raw material. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was found that this feedstock did not always meet the stated requirements. In this regard, the conduct of these studies is necessary for further control of the technological process. Scientific novelty. Currently, the issue of the quality of fodder of vegetable origin and soybean-processed products remains relevant. Full-fat soybean, soybean extracted meal, soybean expeller meal are increasingly used for the preparation of animal feed for farm animals and poultry. In this regard, it became necessary to control the quality and safety of this feedstock.
