METHOD FOR PRODUCING OF BRIQUETTED FEED FROM PLANT COMPONENTS, PREFERABLY FOR CATTLE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A23K1/20 A23K1/16 A23K1/14 

FIELD: feed production.

SUBSTANCE: method involves using fodder feeds as components, said fodder feeds being available in the form of cereal crop harvest, threshing and shelling wastes, fodder grain and wastes, and non-standard fruit-and-vegetable farm products; before components mixing process, preliminarily grinding fodder feeds to homogeneous state; subjecting wastes and non-standard fruit-and-vegetable farm products to separate washing with hot water, followed by rinsing with running water and processing with low-pressure steam; subjecting thus processed wastes and non-standard fruit-and-vegetable farm products to forced action by mixing in forced-type mixer to semi-dried state and state at which pellets are formed; mixing briquette components to produce homogeneous mass; spilling thus prepared homogeneous component mass into molds and subjecting to briquetting using power vibration pressing pulses; withdrawing formed briquettes from molds and subjecting to drying process using heated air flows; after drying, holding and cooling briquettes.

EFFECT: provision for obtaining of balanced ration as to energy and nutrient value, vitamin complex, and physiologically active microelements, prolonged shelf life of briquetted feeds regardless of storage conditions.
