Method of increasing the mixed fodder nutritional and energy value

Abstract

The use of local raw materials in the mixed fodder formulations for broiler chickens, including non-traditional raw materials, allows to expand the range of manufactured feeds possessing high nutritional properties and biological value. In order to improve the quality and to reduce the production costs of the mixed fodder due to the cheap raw materials use and the reduction of the premix use share, the mixed fodder formulation for broiler chickens was developed. The nutritional and energy value, safety of mixed fodder are determined. It is established that the nutritional and energy value of the mixed fodder with extruded mixture of non-crushed wheat, peat and cones meets the requirements of the current standard for complete feed for poultry and is obtained in accordance with the rules of the production technological process organization and supervision in the mixed fodder industry. The obtained mixed fodder with the use of non-traditional additives is non-toxic. There is no pathogenic microflora. Replacement of the expensive premix with peat, cones and introduction of non-crushed wheat grain into the mixture before extrusion helps to reduce the cost of finished products. In the production of extrudate from non-crushed wheat (98.8 %), peat (0.6 %) and cones (0.6 %), grinding and mixing with other components of the mixed fodder, the proportion of premix P5-1 decreased to 0.52%. The mixed fodder quality improvement is due to the enrichment with vitamins, essential amino acids and vegetable protein by adding cones and peat.
