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

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method includes soaking the seeds in electro-activated water, germinating and seedlings forcing. Wheat grain is washed with tap water for 4-8 minutes, after which the washed grain is soaked in anolyte with the pH of 3.0-10.5 and the redox potential of 860-1,580 mV, the oxygen concentration 7.2-17.0 mg/l and the chlorine concentration of 0.006-0.01 mg/l for 3.5-4.5 hours at a ratio of grain to anolyte 1:2. Thereinafter, the anolyte is removed, and re-washing of grain is carried out with tap water for 3-8 minutes. Germinating the grain is carried out in a thin layer without the use of the substrate by the air-irrigation method at periodic tedding, with the total germination duration of 7-9 days under natural light.

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