GRANULATED FODDER FOR FARM ANIMALS AND METHOD OF ITS PREPARING Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: invention is designated for using in agriculture field, in particular, for preparing fodder agents enhancing biological value of animal diet. For preparing granulated fodder components: barley, wheat bran, sunflower oil cake (or soybean, or rape, of flax oil cake), powdered lime, sodium chloride, sunflower hydrofuse (or soybean, or rape, or flax hydrofuse), sunflower husk, fodder waste (pea, millet, buckwheat and others) are dosed, stirred for 3-4 min and the ground.
