Effect of soybean products on the indicators of sheep rumen digestion

The article presents the material of studies of rumen digesta of sheep fed soybean production waste (straw and forage) as their main diet. The results obtained show that soybean straw and soybean forage increase the level of urea and VFA in the rumen digesta by 54 and 31%, respectively. The total number of infusoria also increased by almost 2.8 times compared to the conventional hay concentrate diet. The results obtained during the experiment give an idea of the level of digestion of nutrients contained in soybean waste, which in turn allows for more rational and complete organization of the process of animal feeding and effective use of feed resources.
