Rational use of oil crops waste in feed production

Currently, at the stage of the country's economic development, in order for the agricultural sector to become profitable, competitive, and also ensure long-term independence, it must be productive. In this regard, it is necessary to use agricultural waste to increase productivity and the raw material base of feed production and improve quality. Such agricultural waste includes post–harvest waste from oilseeds, which are rich in minerals, micro-, macronutrients, protein, fat, fiber and vitamins. The use of post-harvest waste from oilseeds in the production of compound feeds is economically feasible. However, fulfilling this condition in industrial livestock farming requires large financial resources, which are not always recouped by the products produced. The way out of this situation is to replace expensive components with plant energy-protein components. During the study, a recipe for compound feeds with the introduction of post-harvest waste of oil crops was developed. Also, quality indicators such as crude protein, digestible protein, fat, fiber, and feed unit were studied. It was found that when introducing feed flour from post-harvest waste in the amount of sunflower -5%, safflower -2% into compound feeds, the quality indicators did not show any visible changes. With an increase in the rate of introduction of feed flour into compound feeds, the quality indicators increased. Thus, the introduction of waste-free technologies for the production of oilseeds with the development of products suitable for inclusion in compound feed will significantly expand the raw material base for compound feed production.
