As a result of hard breeding work, people managed to achieve extremely high productivity from pigs, which entailed increased requirements for the feed quality, keeping conditions and microclimate. Pigs receive the main amount of energy from cereal grains, some energy comes from protein splitting and to a lesser extent - due to fat feed. The difference in the amount of exchange energy can reach up to 5 MJ. The lower the amount of energy in the diet, the more the animal needs to consume feed, so PVMA should be added to cereal mixtures to balance the diets by nutrients. Over the past decades, full combined fodder has become the most reliable food source for pigs. Being based on former feed mills, local enterprises are purchasing new equipment and mastering new technologies of modern combined fodder and protein-vitamin-mineral additives production for different types and age-sex groups of farm animals.
