Problems of unification of fodder quality and nutritive value assessment systems

Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent need for improvement and unification of systems for the quality evaluation of feed and rations. Lack of uniform sampling methods, analysis methods, feed quality indicators; norms of the nutrient requirements depending on the physiological state of animals, a unified approach to balancing diets, and most importantly - the absence of an international standard system for assessing the energy nutritive value of feed and rations - complicates the mutual understanding of scientists and practitioners from different countries and the integration of scientific achievements into agricultural production.
