METHOD FOR PRODUCING BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FORAGE ADDITIVE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A23K10/30 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method involves soaking the seeds in electro-activated water, germinating and seedlings forcing. The initial seeds are represented by Camelina seeds. Camelina seeds are washed in tap water for 4-8 minutes, then the washed seeds are soaked in anolyte with the pH of 3.0-11.2 units and the redox potential of 310-1,100 mV, the oxygen concentration of 7.2-16.0 mg/l and the chlorine concentration of 0.003-0.007 mg/l for 3.0-4.5 hours at the ratio of seeds to anolyte 1:2. Thereafter, the anolyte is removed and the seeds are re-washed by tap water within 3-8 minutes, and germinating the seeds is carried out in a thin layer without using a substrate by means of air-irrigation method at periodic tedding, at the total germination duration of 7-9 days under natural light.

EFFECT: method allows to obtain a high-quality biologically active forage additive by accelerating the production process of seeds germination and to reduce its duration, and to obtain forage for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices at low material and labour costs.
