METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF FODDER ADDITIVE FOR POULTRY FARMING Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A23K1/12 A23K1/16 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to farm industry, in particular, to the technology for fodders production from farm industry by-products and to processing industry with fungal bio-conversion usage. The method for production of a fodder additive for poultry farming involves stirring of preliminarily treated cellulose-containing raw materials with nutritive additives, microorganisms addition, the mixture maintenance and subsequent treatment. The cellulose-containing raw materials are represented by sunflower husk and brewer grains. Preliminarily treatment of the cellulose-containing raw materials is performed by way of extrusion at a temperature of 110-130°C. The produced extrudate is milled with subsequent 5-10 minute stirring and introduction of water and a nutritive additive in the form of maize extract into the extrudate. Into the produced mixture one introduces Trichoderma viride microorganisms of strain F-838 in an amount of 1-2% of the mixture weight and maintains the mass for 6-7 days at a temperature of 26-30°C with periodic stirring. The produced wet mixture is dried till moisture content is equal to 10-12% at a temperature of 40-50°C and milled.

EFFECT: invention implementation ensures cellulose-lignin complex destruction intensification due more complete hydrolysis, the fodder nutrition value enhancement, protein content increase, vitamins preservation, harmful microorganisms elimination and the fodder additive enrichment with cellulose- decomposing enzymes.
