SELECTION OF THE PERIOD OF GROWING SOILLESS GREEN DEPENDING ON BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS
At present, livestock and poultry breeders of small farms look for the optimal ways of available, cheap and natural vitamin fortification of diets and very promising can be effective additives based on acrospires, which is important from the standpoint of diets greening. The research was conducted at the Department of biotechnology, biochemistry and biophysics of Kuban state university after I.T. Trubilin (Krasnodar Krai). Biochemical analyses were carried out in dry grain and various modes (periods) of growing: immediately after soak, on 3<sup>rd</sup> day, 5<sup>th</sup> day and 7<sup>th</sup> day. As a control, ordinary tap water was used, in the test group - mineral water. The difference in the test group between dry grain and sprouted on the seventh day in the content of crude fiber by 2,3% and in the control - by 2,2% was established. In addition, when using mineral water the raw fiber parameters were higher by 0,1%, compared to the control. The accumulation of crude protein in the sprouted grain was 13,9 % (in the test mode) and 13,4% (in the control), or 13,0% and 10,7% more, compared to the content of crude protein in the original grain (12,1%). The content of crude fat in the sprouted grain slightly decreased - by 0,2-0,3%. In the concentration values of the controlled parameters the sprouts of the test variant exceeded all parameters except for vitamin B<sub>2</sub> (0,5 µg/g higher than in the test group) that confirms the practicability of using mineral water from wells Goryachiy kluch №104 during grain germination. The optimal mode of grain growing is established - up to 6 days, as here the maximum accumulation 0,2-5,0% of nutrients is shown. Using soilless plant growth units allows to obtain natural feed even in cold winter or dry summer conditions.
