METHOD FOR PRODUCING PROTEIN VITAMIN GREEN FORAGE 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 pea seeds. Washing the pea seeds is carried out with tap water for 4-8 minutes, thereinafter the washed seeds are soaked in anolyte with the pH of 2.4-7.8 and the redox potential of 260-720 mV, the oxygen concentration of 6.0-12.8 mg/l, obtained by the contact activation of 6-10% ammonium sulfate solution, within 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 6-8 days under natural light.

EFFECT: method allows to obtain high-quality protein-vitamin green forage by accelerating the process of seed germination and to reduce its duration, and to obtain protein-vitamin green forage for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices, at low material and labour costs.
