Abstract

The article substantiates the expediency of using sorghum grain (seeds) as a substitute for corn in feed for poultry. The aim of the study was to develop a recipe and technology for the preparation of compound feed of increased nutritional value for birds using sorghum grain subjected to IR - processing. Examples of its impact on grain quality and its biological value are considered. The physical principles of operation of this technology and the properties of the applied method are analyzed. It was found that protein digestibility and attack by its enzymes increased from 82.3 to 89.8%. The results of a comparative zootechnical assessment of the quality of feed without sorghum and with the replacement of 47.0% of corn with this raw material are presented. The economic efficiency from the use of the proposed composition of feed for chickens and the profitability of its production have been established.
