Ulyanych I. Technology of production of extruded feed using unconventional raw materials.

The dissertation is dedicated to the scientific rationale for the use of unconventional raw material in feed compound production (table beet, table carrot, parsnip, potato and grape pomace) and improvement of technology of extruding of barley and corn grain mixed with fruit and vegetable additives. This paper presents the results of studies on determination of physical- technological and chemical quality indices and feeding value of fruit and vegetable raw materials. The grain-size distribution of crushed grain raw materials (barley, corn) is investigated. The influence of the ratio of mixture, fineness module, binning time and degree of grinding of roots on the process of extrusion is investigated. High nutritive properties of extruded mixtures of grains with beet, carrot, parsnips, potatoes, grape pomace are scientifically substantiated and experimentally confirmed. Changes of microbiological indices are established during storage. Due to research results, the recommendations on the technology of extruding barley and corn grain mixed with fruit and vegetable additives are developed and put into production on farms. An economic effectiveness of implementation of the developed technology is determined.
