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

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method for producing a biologically active forage additive from bean grain includes washing bean grain with tap water for 4-8 min. Then the washed grain is 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 to 16.0 mg/l and the chlorine concentration of 0.003-0.007 mg/l for 3.0 - 4.5 hours, with the 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 and seedling forcing 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 biologically active forage additive by accelerating the technological process of seeds germination and to reduce its duration, and to obtain protein biologically active forage for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices at low material and labour costs.
