Abstract

As foreign and domestic experience in livestock breeding shows, cultivated pastures are highly efficient and are considered to be a reliable source of consistent provision of animals with green feed during the pasture period. Free feeding of animals on pastures is a natural way of feeding them, which is created by nature within the framework of a single ecosystem in which natural grassland vegetation grows. One of the most expensive items in animal breeding is feed production. To exemplify this, when keeping animals on cultural pastures, there is a decrease in the relevant share of expenses for feed production in the structure of aggregate expenses compared to their management in livestock buildings by 2 times (from 60 … 65% to 30%), and the expenses on purchasing fuels and lubricants by 6 … 7 times. It has been established that in the North Caucasus region three methods of creating cultural pastures are used: based on existing natural and artificial grasses through their surface improvement (by carrying out cultural work, regulating the water-air regime of the soil, combating weed and poisonous vegetation, sowing grass, fertilizing); radical improvement of natural fodder farmland, i.e. the creation of artificial cultural pastures; using pasture crops of perennial grasses cultivated on strongly eroded slope lands to reduce or eliminate erosion processes. As can be seen from the above, the problem of creating cultural pastures on sloping lands is of great current interest.
