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

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises washing triticale grain with tap water for 4-8 min. 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 means of the contact activation of 6-10% ammonium sulfate solution, for 3.5-4.5 hours, at 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 6-8 days under natural light.

EFFECT: method allows to receive high-quality functional forage by accelerating the technological process of germinating the grain and to reduce its duration, as well as to obtain a functional forage for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices at low material and labour costs.
