NARROW-LEAVED LUPINE GRAIN IN THE FEEDING OF YOUNG CATTLE
Lack of important nutrients such as protein, macro- and microelements in diets leads to lower efficiency of feed use, shortage of a significant part of livestock products and increase in their cost. The article contains the materials of research, the purpose of which was to develop protein-vitamin-mineral supplements and to study the effectiveness of feeding them as part of grain forage to young cattle. It has been established that the inclusion of new protein-vitamin-mineral supplements in the feed ration of animals has a positive effect on the palatability of feed, digestion processes, metabolism and animal health, as well as promotes getting average daily gain of 629-710 g with feed consumption of 8,77-9,97 feed units per 1 kg of gain and reduces feed costs by 20%.
