The article proves a positive effect of feeding with saffron cake and premix based this substance on growth and development, nutrient utilization ration, morphological and biochemical parameters of blood of calves of black-motley breed

This article presents the results of the chick peas use instead of sunflower cake, in feeding young and adult livestock hens-layers of the cross "Hajseks brown". The researches were carried out in the JSC "Agrofirm Vostok" of the Nikolayevskiy district in the Volgograd region. The sunflower cake replacement with legumes - chickpeas as the part of the experimental animal fodder for young and adult livestock hens-layers had a positive influence on productivity, physiological state of the birds, product quality and economic performance. Chick peas’ use in young hens feeding improves live weight at 1.03-4.68%, egg production in 0.99-4.7%, the average weight in 0.99-3.75% and eggs quality indicators. Morphological and biochemical indices in experimental young hens and laying hens in all the groups were within the physiological range, indicating normally occurring redox processes in the body of a bird. However, the chick peas’ application in fodder for experimental young hens and laying hens contributed to the increase of total protein, calcium, phosphorus content in serum compared with counterparts in the control group that received sunflower cake. As the researches result, the economic effect in the experimental groups was 833.01-3821.87 rubles

This article presents the results of the chickpea effect in feeding young and adult laying hens of "Hajseks brown" cross on their productivity and nutrient digestibility of feed. Studies have been conducted on the JSC "Agro-firm Vostok" in Nikolayevsky district of the Volgograd region. Complete or partial replacement of sunflower oil cake by chickpeas as part of feed for the experimental pullet hens improves nutrient digestibility coefficients compared with the control pullet group. The balance of nitrogen was positive in all groups, the use of nitrogen taken from guinea pullets was higher than in the control group at 0, 27-0,74%. Use of chickpea in the composition of feed for laying hens increases the digestibility coefficients of nutrients: dry matter - to 1,17-3,25%, organic matter - to 1,62-3,37% crude protein - to 0,45-1, 77%, crude fiber - to 0,72-1,05%; crude fat - to 0,35-1,55%, compared with chickens, hens in the control group. The use of nitrogen from the digested was1,37-2,13% higher in the experimental groups compared to analogs of the control group. The use of calcium and phosphorus for the formation of eggs was also higher in the experimental groups

The right balance of essential amino acids and protein is the main condition for the optimization of weight gain, feed conversion and high profits. In VGC "Megamix" the quality of different types of raw full-fat soy, wheat, corn, meat and bone meal and fish was assessed on the content of amino acids on the IR analyzer of FOSSNIR Systems company. Amino acid content in the feed does not always match the average standards of reference. So in the reference data content of methionine, threonine and phenylalanine in wheat, indicated 0.23%, 0.43% and 0.64% respectively, and studied in the laboratory of VGC "Megamix", respectively, 0.24%, 0.45% and 0 73%, that is 0.01%, 0.02% and 0.09% higher of tabular values. The lysine content of the wheat to be investigated in a laboratory and provided in the averaged data was on the same level. Thus, the calculation of the recipes should be carried out taking into account not tabulated values but the actual, which will reduce the so-called "safety stock" to get food of consistent quality and reduce the cost of the cost of animal feed, which in turn affects the economic efficiency of livestock production

The article has scientifically substantiated and experimentally proved high efficacy of using sorghum grain and chickpea grain in the diets of cows of Ayrshire breed. It has also shown their influence on the productivity, digestibility and utilization of nutrients of diets

Side products obtained during processing of many oil crops, have a high feed value and use in rations of animals and birds. The important thing in feeding poultry is protein nutritional value of forages and their biological integrity, expressed in amino acid composition. In this regard, there was a comparative analysis of the chemical and amino acid composition traditionally used in compound feeds for poultry, sunflower cake, and previously unexamined mustard protein-containing feed concentrate called "Gorlinka". During the research, it was found that the studied new feed additive is better comparing to sunflower meal, considering protein content and essential amino acids

This article presents the results of the impact of "Gorlinka" mustard protein-containing feed concentrate in the feeding of broiler chicken of the cross of "Cobb-500" on their performance and nutrient digestibility of the feed. The studies were conducted in the conditions of Krasnodonskaya Poultry farm in the Ilovlinskiy district of the Volgograd region. Full or partial replacement of sunflower meal with "Gorlinka" mustard proteincontaining feed concentrate in the feed mixture for the experimental broiler chickens contributes to the increase of the coefficients of digestibility of nutrients compared to the birds in the control group. The use of "Gorlinka" mustard protein-containing feed concentrate in the composition of feed for broiler chickens has contributed to higher coefficients of digestibility of nutrients: dry matter – 0.51-1,37%, organic matter – 0.6-1,99 %, crude protein by 0.8- 2,24 %, crude fiber – 0,34-1,65 %; crude fat – 0.94- 2,29%, compared to the birds in the control group. Nitrogen balance was positive in all groups; the use of nitrogen from the accepted experimental broiler chickens was higher in the experimental groups than in the control by 2.89-of 7.93 %. The use of nitrogen from digested nitrogen was higher in the experimental groups in comparison with the analogues from the control group by 2.65-of 7.97 %. The use of calcium and phosphorus by poultry was also higher in the experimental groups

This article presents the results of using "Gorlinka" mustard protein-containing feed concentrate, instead of sunflower meal in the feeding of broiler chickens of the cross of "Cobb-500". The studies were conducted in the conditions of Krasnodonskaya Poultry farm of the Ilovlinskiy district of the Volgograd region. Replacing sunflower meal with a product of processing of oilseeds which is "Gorlinka" mustard protein-containing concentrate, in the feed mixture in the experimental broilers had a positive impact on the productivity, physiological state of the birds, product quality and economic performance. The use of this mustard protein-containing feed concentrate in feeding of meat birds contributes to the increase of live weight by 3.46-of 6.65% and slaughter yield by 1.38-1.98% and improvement of quality indicators of the carcasses. Morphological and biochemical parameters in experimental broiler chickens in all the groups were within the physiological norm, which indicates a normally occurring redox processes in the poultry organism. However, adding "Gorlinka" mustard proteincontaining feed concentrate into experimental feed for broiler chickens contributed to the increase in the content of total protein, calcium, phosphorus in blood serum in comparison with analogues from the control group that received sunflower cake. As a result of the research, the economic effect in the experimental groups was up 710,40-1085,53 rubles

Currently, we are constantly improving the recipes of fish feeds, this reduces the cost of feed per gain, and it overall decreases cost of fish. We search for alternative cheaper sources of nutrients. Leftovers of vegetable oil and oil extraction industry such as oil cakes and meals have been used as high-protein feed additives for a long time. This requires a strict scientific control, precluding the possibility of their harmful effects on animal health. In this regard, there was a comparative analysis of the chemical and amino acid composition traditionally used in compound feeds for sturgeons of sunflower cake and feed concentrate from "Sarepta" vegetable raw materials. During the research it was found that "Sarepta" is better than sunflower meal considering protein and essential amino acids content

Modern commodity sturgeon breeding is one of the profitable and dynamically developing directions of fish farming in the Russian Federation. Only the system of Rosrybhoz has more than 40 enterprises of different ownership forms for the cultivation of sturgeons. In 2012, in agricultural farming of the Russian Federation we had grown more than 2.0 thousand tons of sturgeon. Crucial role to maintain normal functioning of the body of the fish when grown in closed recirculation systems plays complete and balanced nutrition. Proper organization of biologically full feeding of fish helps to maximize expression of their genetic potential. The article presents the results of the researches of the efficiency of using feed concentrate from vegetable raw materials called "Sarepta" in the composition of feed additives for 2-year old Russian sturgeons
