FUNCTIONAL FODDER PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A23K10/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture - fodder production, namely to the methods of functional fodder production. Functional fodder production method involves washing of amaranth seeds by tap water for 4-8 minutes. Then the washed seeds are soaked in anolyte with pH 2.4-8.0 and oxidation-reduction potential 230-810 mV, concentration of oxygen 6.0-14.8 mg/L, made by contact activation of 6-10% ammonium sulphate solution, during 3.5-4.5 hours. Herewith the ratio of seeds to anolyte amounts to1:2. Afterwards anolyte is removed and the seeds are washed by tap water again for 3-8 minutes. Seed germination and sprouting take place in thin layer without growing medium by the method of air spraying with periodic turning. The total duration of germination accounts for 6-8 days at natural ambient light.

EFFECT: invention allows for the production of qualitative functional fodder due to the acceleration of seed germination process and reduction of its duration, as well as for the production of functional fodder for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality factors along with low finance and labour inputs.
