Modern technologies in fodder production

The questions on ensuring the food security in terms of meeting the needs of the population in high-quality livestock products do not lose their relevance, since the livestock industry, unlike crop production, has been deprived of investment flows for many years. The unprofitability, the high labor and capital intensities of production in animal husbandry have caused a decline in the feed industry. In these conditions, the active use of modern technologies in feed production only can radically change the situation. By the study results, at present the gradual introduction of modern technologies in feed production improves the quality of the feed resources, reduces the rate of feed consumption per unit of production. Among modern feed production technologies, the role of genetics, breeding, and seed production of forage crops is particularly important.
