In novative automated set of equipment for preparation of easily digestible concentrate

In the market conditions of dairy cattle breeding, the problem of increasing productivity comes to the fore of cost-effective milk production. As best practices and zootechnical studies show, the productivity of cows is already laid at the level of raising calves of the dairy period. The main feed for calves of the dairy period is currently whole milk, but due to its deficiency, various substitutes based on skimmed milk powder with various additives of vitamins and trace elements are produced. However, due to high cost, the use of whole milk replacers has not been widely used.  In this regard, to increase profitability of dairy cattle breeding, as well as for accelerated development, calves are accustomed to consuming vegetable feeds. Since plant-based feeds are difficult to digest in a young body, they must be processed into easily digestible. The paper presents an innovative technology and an automated set of equipment for production of easily digestible concentrate based on local grain raw materials for replacement young animals. It has been determined that the use of an innovative automated set of equipment for production of easily digestible concentrate for feeding calves of the dairy period contributes to: faster development of rumen, higher digestibility of grain components due to proper processing, since during preparation of the concentrate, protein denaturation, inactivation of anti-nutritional substances and starch hydrolysis to maltose occur; obtaining optimal weight gain of calves (over 700 g), which will lead to creation of a basis for future high milk productivity of cows; simplification of calf feeding technology; reducing the consumption of milk or whole milk replacer for feeding calves.
