The effect of feeding barley grain with various methods of preliminary preparation in a farm

The article considers the effectiveness of the use of various technologies for feeding barley grain (flattening, extrusion) when fattening young Ayrshire cattle in the conditions of a peasant (farm) economy. The eatability of feed is determined when pretreatment grain is included in the diet of animals. At the same time, it is established that feeding crimped and extruded barley grains made it possible to reduce the consumption of feed by 1 kg of growth. The live weight of fattening gobies and the average daily gain of animals, which diet included crimped grain and extruded grain were slightly higher than in the control group.
