METHOD FOR PRODUCING FUNCTIONAL FORAGE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A23K10/30 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises washing oat grain with tap water for 4-8 min. Thereinafter the washed grain is soaked in anolyte with the pH of 2.4-8.0 units and the redox potential of 230-810 mV, the oxygen concentration of 6.0-14.8 mg/l, obtained by the contact activation of 6-10% ammonium sulfate solution, for 3.5-4.5 hours at the ratio of grain to anolyte 1:2, respectively. Thereinafter, the anolyte is removed, and re-washing of grain is carried out with tap water for 3-8 minutes. Germinating grain and seedling forcing is carried out in a thin layer without the use of the substrate by the air-irrigation method under periodic tedding, with the total germination duration of 6-8 days under natural light.

EFFECT: implementation of the invention allows to obtain functional forage for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices, while reducing the material and labour costs and accelerating the production process of seeds germination.
