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

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture, namely to the methods of functional fodder production. Functional fodder production method involves washing of pea beans by tap water for 4-8 minutes. Then the washed beans 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, the ratio of beans to anolyte is 1:2. Afterwards anolyte is removed and the beans 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.
