METHOD OF OBTAINING VITAMIN FORAGE ADDITIVE FROM VETCHLING GRAIN 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 grain is represented by vetchling grain; the vetchling grain is washed with tap water for 4-8 minutes, after which the washed grains are soaked with the anolyte with the pH of 3.0-6.0 and the redox potential of 970-1,110 mV, the oxygen concentration of 8.3-12.0 mg/l and the chlorine concentration of 0.006-0.01 mg/l 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 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: using the invention will allow to obtain high-quality forage by accelerating the production process of grain germination and to reduce its duration, as well as to obtain vitamin forage for livestock and poultry with recommended biochemical and microbiological quality indices at low material and labour costs.
