Abstract
The use of green mass of annual leguminous crops allows to get a rich amount of protein feed. Therefore, the quality of the green mass must be ensured in the context of sustainable crop production and feed efficiency. Apparently, the use of pre-sowing seed treatment with different-sized metal particles and growth regulators can affect the amino acid composition of crops. In the conducted work, it was found that pre-sowing treatment of seeds with UFP MoO2 increased the content of essential amino acids in peas - 5.75%, millet - 3.61, and in barley with UFP SiO2 - 4.01%. Similarly, UFP MoO2 stimulated the content of proline in the biomass of peas-1.82%, millet-0.15%, barley-0.32% compared to the control.In mixed crops of peas, millet, and barley, the content of leucine-isoleucine increased by -0.36%, lysine-0.13%, tyrosine - 0.04%, proline - 0.76%, threonine-0.36%, alanine - 0.27%, histidine - 0.02%, and glycine - 0.25% compared to the control. The amount of essential amino acids in the mixed crop under the action of the UFP MoO2 increased by 1.38%.
Highlights
By 2050, the world's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion people [1] and global demand for meat and milk is projected to increase by 57% and 48%, respectively
Depending on the pre-sowing seed treatment, the maximum content of crude protein in peas, millet, and barley in the green mass was observed in the variants of peas ultrafine particles (UFP) MoO2, SiO2, which was 12.7 %, 12.3%, respectively, in barley when processing seeds UFP MoO2, 11.6 %, in millet when using UFP SiO2 -11.5 %
Using pre-sowing seed treatment, we were able to cover a wide range of changes in the amino acid composition both in individual crops and in their mixtures
Summary
By 2050, the world's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion people [1] and global demand for meat and milk is projected to increase by 57% and 48%, respectively. The global demand for animal protein is constantly growing, which leads to an increase in the cost of animal feed. To meet the growing demand for animal products, it is necessary to develop methods to increase the green mass from forage crops. The use of ultrafine particles (UFP) has become popular, to create digestible materials by animals and not harmful to the environment. [3] it is known that UFPs have positive morphological effects, such as increasing the speed of seed germination, improving root formation, as well as the accumulation of vegetative mass.
