EFFICIENT FEEDING IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Abstract

Lack of feed resources is a common problem that limits the development of livestock production. Various cataclysms, such as floods, droughts, lead to a shortage of food and feed. Among all cataclysms, drought is the main destructive natural disaster, leading to significant loss of vegetation. On average, about 30-40% of the cultivated area in areas affected by drought. Also, drought causes another type of loss when the growth rate of plants is limited. In such conditions in the regions, there is an acute shortage of feed and fodder. Therefore, there is a need to develop feeding strategies for keeping animals to ensure their development and productivity. Feeding strategies during times of scarcity depend on the specific conditions prevailing in any particular area. In general, the farmer must make decisions based on economics, knowledge of nutrition, availability of forage resources in difficult climatic conditions. Technological issues of feed preparation cannot be considered in isolation from the processes of digestion and metabolism in the animal body. Canned and treated with chemicals and other substances have specific nutritional properties and affect the animal's body, milk production and weight gain in different ways. However, if used incorrectly, they have a negative impact on the physiological state of the animal organism, productivity and viability. When characterizing feeds in this work, considerable attention is paid not only to the concentration of various substances in the feed, but also to their effect on the productivity of animals.
