Description
Summary:The main purpose of feeding is to supply cattle with nutrients vitally important for their growth. At present to reduce dairy products used for calve feeding the farmers use substitutes for whole milk and mixed fodders-starters which help the animals to get used to plant food and to improve the work of gastrointestinal tract. The article gives the results of the comparative analysis of mixed fodders-starters, produced by various countries that are used for feeding of young cattle. The article considers the assessment of their nutrition value according to main indexes and characteristics on compliance with the requirements of domestic technical documentation. It has been established that present recipes of mixed fodder are lack of a variety of components among which are such wastes of plant processing as oilcake, oilmeal and molasses. Thus the article describes the feeding advantages of frequently met ingredients which make their use for young cattle more advisable. Besides the article shows disadvantages which limit the use and the ways to eliminate them. Thus, the use of the wastes of plant processing in mixed-fodders-starters produces positive effect on the growth indexes and young cattle development, reduces costs of fodders per unit of production and increases economic efficiency of their breeding.
