METHOD FOR PRODUCING PROTEIN-VITAMIN FORAGE ADDITIVE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A23K10/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method involves soaking the seeds in electro-activated water, germinating and seedlings forcing. The initial seeds are represented by soybean seeds. Washing the seeds is carried out with tap water for 4-8 minutes. Thereinafter the washed seeds are soaked in anolyte with the pH of 3.0-10.5 and the redox potential of 860-1,580 mV, the oxygen concentration of 7.2 to 17.0 mg/l and the chlorine concentration of 0.006 to 0.01 mg/l for 3.5-4.5 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 protein-vitamin forage additive from soybean seeds by accelerating the production process of seed germination and to reduce its duration, and to obtain a protein-vitamin forage additive for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices at low material and labour costs.
